Looking for advice / experience / wise words etc.

I now have the new Telewest TVDrive (HDMI), and also have a Marantz VP12S3 DLP projector (DVI, HDCP enabled).

I have the TVD connected to my plasma (Pio 506 XDE) via HDMI, and the picture is very appealing, especially the HD (True HD & upscaled) content available on Teleport.

So, to connect the TVD to the pj i will need a long cable (10m - 15m) to go from TVD to PJ. The cable will need to be one of the following:

HDMI - DVI cable
HDMI - DVI adaptor, with DVI - DVI cable
HDMI - HDMI cable, with HDMI - DVI adaptor

anyone have any comments on:

will it work (compatability, cable distance)?
best solution
costs / suppliers?

come on guys, let me know what you think

A HDMI - DVI cable is the cable to go for. At that kind of distance you really don't want to add adaptors etc...

Also. Keep it as short as possible.

Cyberheater,

thanks for the reply.

anyone have either experience with both components, or details of suppliers for cables

let me know - hoping to have 8ft wide HD world cup experience, but need cable first

cheers,

I am running a 15 m HDMI to DVi and I have a HDMI connector on the end of the DVI and I am having no problems, the beuty and the downfall of HDMI and DVI cables the fact that they are digital so you will either get a picture or you wont (that is you will get a scrambled image with artifacts).

Good luck Darko

That's not quite correct. You can get "sparkles" which show up a various amounts of snow which is very annoying.

A 15m run with no problems is great Darko. Must be great cables your using there.
