Integra DTC-9.8/Long HDMI runs

[wubus]

I have an Integra DTC-9.8 processor, and have about a 50 ft. HDMI balun 1.3 (with two CAT5 cables) from my processor to my 65" Panasonic plasma TV. All source components running into the processor via HDMI periodically go black or to snow on my TV, including my Roku Netflix box and my PS3. However, if you run these source components direct without going through my Integra, they don't go blank. I have replaced all of my HDMI cable going in to the Integra with the highest quality HDMI cables, but this doesn't seem to help. Integra support says they don't have any thoughts or suggestions for me, and only guarantee shorter HDMI runs.

I don't want to run my PS3 direct because I want to be able to hear Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. Has anyone got any solutions or thoughts for this?

You might try a HDMI repeater which acts sort of like an amplifier. Sounds like the Integra has a weak HDMI output.

Thank you. I currently am using a Key Digital HDMI Balun. Will a HDMI repeater work with this?

I'm sure it will. Put it between the Integra and the balun. I'm sure you know there are no guarantees on this sort of hook-up, but that's the only thing that comes to mind.
