Is there such a thing as few hundred feet HDMI cables? Reason being my family's household has one decoder and right now we use few hundred feet of wiring in order to receive Astro upstairs in my room so in order to receive HD, I will need to change the cables to HDMI, is there such length of cable? Forgive me if it sounds silly

But still, with the new decoder, Astro will have to change my wiring and.....where to find few hundred feet of HDMI cable? I refuse to pay for a second decoder even if it is 50 percent off.

QUOTE(MyDevil @ Dec 10 2009, 05:18 PM) You still need HDMI splitter. Don't think the Astro decoder has 2 HDMI output. Yeah seems to be the case. Either way, looks like more drilling and wiring casing.  Just found out the price of a wireless HDMI extender and it's 800 USD  i'd rather have the splitter using the cat5 cables. |

by the way i got two questions hopefully someone can answer me:
1) is it compulsory to change to b.yond? 2) i read few page back that installation is rm 80 and include HDMI wiring but i am connecting one decoder to two tvs in two separate roooms, so they going to do both wiring for free? and if not, can i choose the length because it's up to me if my decoder in one room, tv another.

Okay I called them.
They have 4 HDMI ports so no need splitter and you can connect up to 4 TV. According to them, HDMI wiring will be provided up to 20 feet. Extra 1 feet = RM 2.50. |

QUOTE(MyDevil @ Dec 11 2009, 07:58 PM) Hard to believe the decoder got 4 HDMI ports. That's what I thought. Becuase HDMI cables are impossible to be that cheap. : / The 20 feet wiring is the coaxial cable, not HDMI. BTW, Devil, you subscribing? Can help me ask your technician who help you install? The Astro hotline half-past-six lah. |
