Long Run of HDMI

[woah]

Various internet results and my experience suggest - nowt. HDMI cables no matter how cheap/expensive are the same, it either works fully or it doesn't work. Don't bother forking out for anything fancy, just order the cheapest and that'll do fine.

Interesting. Technika as in Tesco? Got a few of those. You probably don't use the analogue UHF input for anything, but if you do, I'd be interested if you get problems with occasional poor focus, or fuzzyness problems.

We pipe the Sky box round the building on a UHF channel and the Technikas seem to be a bit prone to fuzziness for a few seconds at a time when on analogue.

As to your original question, sorry, haven't a clue.

Yes as in Tesco. I don't actually have any analogue left in my flat these days, it's all HDMI from the virgin boxes / blu-ray so can't really help you with your question.

I had an HDMI cable once that worked most of the time, but would occasionally cause green stripes to appear on the screen. So that one sort-of worked.

In case you're interested, Amazon are selling an HDMI extender for £35: you can have up to 30 metres of cat5 (two cables, presumably for bitrate) in between.
