powered HDMI out

Hi Guys,
Just bought an Onkyo 607 which I hoped would let me watch Blu-rays on the ps3 through the vg socket using the HD fury gamer edition ( Plasma accepts 1080p 245fps through the VGA but not HDMI) Unfortunately the Onkyo does not produce enough power through the hdmi out port to power the HD fury gamer edition. So I was thinking is there a gizmo such as a powered HDMI which would produce enough power to run the HD fury? I want the full true dolby HD ect formats so I really need to be going through the amp hdmi out, unless I buy a blu ray player and connect direct to the VGA socket from it and get sound from using the speaker terminals. What phono cables would I need and what blu-ray player would you guys suggest (multi region would be great)
Has anyone had a problem with the 607 when watch programs from the planner on skyhd? The reason I ask is I find I have to turn the receivers power on and of due to TV loosing signal and sky pauses (never happened with the old amp); it may be a problem with the HDMI cable which I will check when the new one arrives but this only happens when viewing off the planner and wondered if this was due to poor power output from the HMD out port

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Trent

From reading reviews on Amazon it suggests that the HD Fury has a 5V input Jack. Can you source a suitable mains adapter?

Hmm, sorry I wasn't looking at the "Gamer Edition" so its not an option.

From HD Fury website:

"A power supply cannot be added to the HDfury Gamer Edition cable due to the all-in-one sealed design. The HDfury Gamer Edition should therefore only be used when connecting a PS3 or Xbox360 Elite directly to a display device. We recommend that the standard HDfury with power supply be used for all other setups. If you are looking for ultimate quality and compatibility watch the brand new 2009 HDfury2 "

No worries,the video signal doesn't need boosting the available power does, whether a "signal booster" will do that I am not sure (Pin 18 +5V Power).

I would ask the question here and one of the Forum Assured Advertisers will probably be able to advise/help:

HDMI switches (HDMI repeaters) usually have a signal booster. You can use them to establish two long runs of HDMI that would otherwise be too long for a signal to travel so I'd guess that the power should be enough to achieve what it is you're trying to achieve?

Hi Thanks for the reply but if the onkyo does not emit enough power to begin with and a simple booster uses power from the souce (onkyo HDMI out) then would it still be able to boost enough power?
Would somethin like the following be any good if a 5 volt adaptor was used?
