Cable connections - Blu-ray Forum

How much of a difference will I see in going from coax(rca) connection from my blu to hdmi? Long story on this, but all my components are about 25' away from my tv in a custom built cabinet in the wall so the cables are long. I have hdmi from my tv receiver and that cable was like $400... Worth the money to do this from my blu?

Yes, theres a difference. But go here and buy a cable. $400.00 FOR A CABLE IS LUDICROUS.

very nice!

Thanks!!!

now, do you think an HDMI splitter is ok? I need to go home and check the number of inputs i have... so i figured i would ask and check.

I would be careful with an HDMI splitter as they can cause signal loss and other problems. As for a 25' HDMI cable, monoprice.com has some extended lengths that reportedly do not lose any signal and cost half the price of monster. You may want to check them out.

My set-up also requires a 25' HDMI cable. Got one at Circuit City for about half the price of Monster that Best Buy carries.................
