Hi,

I wondered if anyone could advise on the best way to accomplish this... We have one PC about 30 meters away from the TV which has a graphics card with a DVI output. The TV only has an HDMI input..

Whats the best way of connecting the computer to the TV to watch videos? Is the best way to get a 30 metre DVI cable with a HDMI adapter at the end alongside a 30 metre audio cable?

If so... where is the best place to get cables in this length and do they even work at this length?

Confused!!

30M is pushing it, easiest way is to send the video using cat5/6 cable and baluns.
