[QUOTE="Enigma_2k4, post: 41350, member: 631"] Wow, awesome offer from Chris - CDI there! I've also looked into these, in the end decided to go for a 10 metre HDMI cable (and a pricey one too!) and I cannot for the life of me see any difference between a cheap short one and long pricey one at all. However, if conduit size is your constraint then you're pretty screwed there and don't really have a choice. Wifi streaming just isn't an option for HD signal.... Not sure why DSTV would have issues tho, especially if the DSTV HD signal goes into a AVR. As far as I am aware, HDMI carries a 5V current which is often used to detect if things are plugged in at each end (plug a HDMI cable into your PC and it detect's it, DVI and VGA don't do that). I presume that's what's konking out your DSTV HD because I doubt the CAT 5 cable would carry that current. However, if you shoved the DSTV HD into an AVR first you probably wouldn't have that issue.
