HDMI Connection

bauderline · 2007-07-12 22:51:56

Another AV question... If I wanted to keep my digibox in an AV rack at the opposite side of the room to a HD flat screen and have it connected via HDMI I assume the only way of doing this is to run a long HDMI cable (circa 10m) via trunking. Does such a thing exist and moreover work ? Best regards, Baud.

Nice job prospect !

My house is a new build so I hope to get this stuff nailed at the outset when its cheap and mess doesn't matter !

you have given me food for thought !

PS - We have been talking about speaker connections in another thread, where did you source your speakers connectors from that are in the wall plates... I take it you fabricated the wall plates your self ?

bauderline,

I have single runs of cables from the amp to the speakers. It was Buzzard that has the speaker cable wall plates.
