Wondering if anyone has had luck with using an HDMI extender (about 25 meters) over cat5E.
I ran 2 cat5E cables from my Amplifier through the roof and to the projector mounted on the roof, I then purchased a Unitek HDMI extender (http://www.cdlnz.com/index.html?do=viewproduct&code=HDMIC5ET&ID=296296) and tried things out and had no luck. I should probably mention that the unit allows for up to 60m cat5E and supports HDCP which is what SKY requires.
I removed the HDMI extender blocks, moved them to my bedroom where I have a 32" Philips screen, tested the scenario again using half meter and longer cables with only sometimes getting a picture. Many times it said no HDCP compatable device in the sky menu but had a lot of dots all over the picture, sometimes it picked up the HDCP part fine and was showing a picture for 30 mins, but again specles and picture came and went 2 or 3 times a minute.
Has anyone been lucky with such a setup and if so what gear did you use?
thanks
