[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 51084, member: 80"] Re: Long HDMI runs Update etc. First, I was able to get a 125' amplified cable and test it from my Tivo to the projector. However, my Tivo isn't enabled for HD so was just running SD. The cable is from Aurum. It seems well built with a nice fabric sort of covering. Not so good in the dirt though :-). It has a USB connector at the source end to power the amp which appears to be about midway on the cable. It claims "3D" support and 1080P and with return channels. Next up to go over the venue today and try it there. The Venue box is an HD box (Dish VIP 211) and has an HDMI cable to the flat screen TV on the wall. This is a Country Club and the TV is in the men's locker room.. I suspect they watch golf on it :-) I have no plenum requirements. We will run the cable out the window and up one floor to the function room and around the horn to the projector. Both the receiver and projector have composite and component. Receiver has HDMI and projector has a M1-D (DVI + USB) with a M1-D to DVI cable supplied. I used a HDMI to DVI adapter. I have lots of coax so I plan to pick up a pair of "F" to "RCA" adapters today as a fall back. While it was tempting to pull the cable out of the wall, I am not going there. They are nice enough to let me use the satellite connection. Also, since there is a bezel covering over the wall there as part of the shelf holding up the receiver, I can't tell if there is actually a duplex hidden in there which would be legal. Near as I can tell, it is simply awkward to remove the trim due to screw locations so I could not check that. I did research video over CAT(5,6) cable and noted that there seemed to be 2 ways they did it. One used to cables to get the conductor count and the other only used 1 so they must do some conversion at each end. In the reading I did I did not get a warm feeling about it working. Thanks so much for all the advice. I will report back after I test at the venue. [/QUOTE]
