SVGA and UXGA are resolutions not video cable standards.
A VGA cable will probably give a better image than a S-Video cable, if your TV has a VGA input, just from the way video is encoded onto the cables and the limited resolution of S-Video.
15 ft is a fairly long run for standard cables, using a high quality VGA cable may help.
If the TV and computer are plugged into different circuits, then you may have a ground loop problem. For that I suspect you would need to move the computer closer to the TV, so they can plug into the same outlet.
