[mythtv-users] Artifacts on screen with DVI to HDMI cable

I've run 50ft HDMI cables - but need to use a repeater to make the signal
usable.  (Look for the UltraLink repeater - works great)

The users over at avsforums recommend monoprice.com cables.  I have a 15ft
DVI/HDMI that works.  I will be having a 35ft DVI cable installed soon.  I'm
going to test it before it gets installed in the wall.

I have always considered Monster cables overpriced/overkill.

Perhaps they are as good as they their price implies but I tend to believe
if that is the case then they are working in a spectrum beyond normal human
consumption.  For analog cables anyway.

Digital (i.e. optical) cables either work or they don't.  Pretty obvious
when either of those is true.

Just my $0.02.
