 Posted: Sat Nov 27, 2010 4:32 pm Post subject: HDFury2 + long HDMI cable |
 |
|
| I have an HDFury2 which has worked well over the past few years. I just rewired my entire living room (the wife wanted it turned 180 degrees) and instead of a short HDMI cable and a long component run I now have a long HDMI cable running through the wall. The cable is a 20' Rocketfish HDMI cable, and the HDFury2 is now plugged directly into the TV. The power supply is in use. I have found with this arrangement that the unit is not working... the TV freaks out and can only sync up around 20-30% of the time. My guess is that the HDMI signal is degraded over the longer run. Would an HDMI repeater help with this issue? Should I upgrade to the HDFury3? Anything else I can try? Thanks! |

Are you committed to that rocket fish cable? From what I have seen of Rocketfish cables they didn't impress much.
You might try getting a BJC Belden Series-1 Bonded-Pair HDMI Cable from bluejeanscable
Bluejeans sells great cables for reasonable prices. |

| Well, it is in the wall now... any change would require repulling the cables, which is never fun. |

| Then go for an equalized HDMI switch to amplify the signal. |
