Re: HDMI length limit?


The OP raises a good question: there seem to be a few companies out there promoting electronic "booster" boxes to improve HDMI transmission. It's strikes me as odd that a new digital transmission method could have more problems than a regular component cable. Was this something that the earlier HDMI formats had, or is it still something to watch out for?

In an event, it always pays to run conduit through your walls, just in case your cable doesn't perform well and you need to replace it later.
