Connecting ATI 3450 VIDEO CARD to HD TV

[hansol123]

I have successfully wired up my PC using an ATI video card to a Samsung HD TV using a 1 metre HDMI cable and played back mpeg2 files using GBPVR.
I then tried a 5 metre cable obtained from Ebuyer and the picture drops out every 2 or 3 seconds. What I am trying to achieve is positioning the PC 8 metres from the TV to reduce the effect of PC noise when watching recorded material. The price of so called high quality ( 8 or 10 metres) cables is very high up to £150.

Has anyone managed to find a good quality HDMI to HDMI cable at a reasonable price.

i know there are amplifiers for long hdmi runs, and hdmi->cat5 also for long runs...but i bet a switchbox [ex.3 to 1 hdmi] should allow a longer cable and actually let you use the one you have and add another without loss...

like pc------sw.box-------tv
effectively doubling the length of existing cables...[by using another one same length]
you can find the sw. boxes for less than 40$ on the net...

are you talking about audible noise or interference?
