Signal Degrade after 65 feet of HDMI. (Help!) (1 Viewer)

[Johnny_Boom]

Here is my problem:

I was forced to run 50 feet of hdmi cable through a wall. At 50 feet, i added a signal amplifier. I then ran another 15 feet.

The signal amp is rated to produce a sharp picture at 200 feet.

My hdmi cable is a standard size. I did not know i could get a thicker band until it was in the wall.

Now, when i plug in my cable box, i get a nice beutiful picture. But, When i plug in my Sony DVD carousel, I get noise and artifacts and the screen occasionally blinks.

It seems as if the dvd player doesnt have enough juice to force it down the pipeline.

Please help

You have to put the amplifier at the beginning of the cable run, not in the middle. If you put it in the middle of the run, the eye pattern has already started to collapse, and amplifying it will do no good. You put it next to your DVD player, to give it that extra "oomph" it lacks.

I would try to keep it short as posible
