Cat5e baluns and sky hd- no sound!!

Have set my Baluns up, with 3om cat5e cable. The picture is very shaky when it is just run from the baluns, however if i then split the signal using a powered hdmi splitter the picture quality is perfect, however there is not any sound, unless i then add another splitter to the other end of the run. Can someone please advise? thanks

Re: Cat5e baluns and sky hd- no sound!!

To be honest it sounds like the baluns are not up to the job.

Which ones have you purchased?

Sound normally drops off before the picture does when the bandwidth /signal is low.

I could recommend one that should work for you if you wish.
