I just set up my HDTV system in my new house and am experiencing picture drops. Ie. every 20 minutes or so I hear a click and the picture/screen goes black for 2-3 seconds while the sound is still on and then comes back on. I have Time Warner Cable and a Scientific Atlantic explorer 8300hd dvr.

I also have my cable box/receiver/power conditioner set up in a pantry closet about 35 feet away from the TV connected with HDMI to cat5 extenders.

My guess is that it is the cable box? (I rebooted the box but that didnt work) Or does it have something to do with my HT setup? Has anyone else had a similar problem or any ideas to fix it?

Thanks in advance
