Hi all

Just set up a projector for my friend and we have plugged in his Xbox / ps3 with a 15 m hdmi cable but it don't work, we just get no signal / not supported yet works fine with a shorter cable. The long cable works with sky / Blu ray player

Any ideas?

Cheers

no idea of the reason myself but i can confirm my xbox runs fine over a 5 metre HDMI cable.

I put a 10m hdmi cable from my sons pc and xbox into his samsung tv both work well. The cable only cost £17 but is good quality.

Have you tried the long cable connected to something else? It may just be a duff cable.

what have you set the xbox to , and what can the projector support ?

Try 720 first

You may just need a better quality cable, the cable quality is much more critical over the longer distances, yes if it works okay then there is no benefit from a better one but it does have to work.

While I agree no company should sell a 15m cable that doesn't work as expected, it's against the Sales of Goods Act 1979.
