Are you using extending products or is this all HDMI cables?

On that job it was a 50 ft Binary cable from an Onkyo AVR to a Sharp TV.

I have a grave yard of HDMI extenders in my office. Every single one of them have been units that worked great while I was on site, but then f&*ck up later, video drops out, require reboots etc, etc. A unit will work fine on one job site, so I make it my go-to and then it fails on another site.

I've tried Binary, Atlona, Hydraconnect, probably others I can't remember.

I finally started running conduit whenever humanly possible.

I had a remodel job a couple years ago, with three local systems, all of which had Key Digital HDMI matrix switches. I pulled conduit to all the TVs. I pulled moderately price Key Digital HDMI cables to all of the TV's. The longest run was about 75 ft. All the TV's worked while I was there, then they all started screwing up. Ended up pulling all new higher end Ethereal HDMI cables to every TV and they all worked from then on.

I have several budget jobs with Amazon 50 ft HDMI $40 cables that still work fine.

I think I might need some lasers.

Mac,
If you have a local system in a home, with an AVR, and only existing Cat5e to work with, and you have a 50-75 ft run between the AVR and TV, what is your go-to solution?
