    I made a bad mistake of having all my cat cables going to a switch no if I ever wanted to add baluns its going to be a right nightmare as none are labled lol

    That sounds a little cheap to be honest mate, I have tried quite a few different HDMI baluns, and always end up going back to ATLONA.

    HDcables (the company) do cheaper ones which have worked in the past, but at the same time I have had 3 fail, and at a cost of going backwards and forwards I wont install them any more. Atlona plug em in and walk away

    Re: hdmi over cat6 with ir

    hiya, so you think something more like this ?

    quite expensive arnt they, im not sure i can afford that kind of money, if it was up to me id run another ethernet lead round the house and keep the setup ive got, its been great, ant had any problems at all, but i now need one of the ethernet leads for something else so im needing a setup that only uses 1 ethernet lead, thanks

    Re: hdmi over cat6 with ir

    I know dilly, its difficult when its your own home, I run hdmi cables round the house not so long ago as we was redecorating a little... I always take advantage of anything the wife wants, to add more stuff lol.

    She wanted the living room painted, so I chased a few cables and repainted the living room.

    She wants a certain part of our garden lowered and I want a Koi Pond lol ...

    Try the HDCables they will take them back if they don't work, the only reason I wont use them is that the cost of changing things is not worth it (time) if it is for your own home then get one if it fails send it back.
