For that length, make sure it's a high quality cable. With something under 20ft you can get away by spending a few bucks at monoprice, but 50 you will want to have one of a high quality build.
I've got 2 long lengths (one from 622, the other 722) running outside in the nasty Michigan winter for 2 years with NO problems. Both from monoprice--24awg.

I have 50' of 24AWG from Monoprice as well. I'm using the tin-coated copper round cable. They have some premium HDMI available also if you need it.
I got it from the directv dealer in town actually... I dunno the quality other than it's what they use... The PQ is very good... but shoving that hdmi outlet through a dozen plus joists sure sucked... and had to drill a hole through the sheet rock.... putty time
I have 6 long runs between my set up and ones I have done for neighbors. I used Insten 1.3b Metal Jacketed cables from eForCity.com. Cheaper and better than Monoprice.com (been there and had to replace what I got from them).
I have been reading about fibre optic, wireless and repeaters, but have yet to need one. But am really interested in the Fibre and Wireless.
- 3 - 50' - $32.99ea @ INSTEN Premium HDMI Cable 1.3b M/M, 50 FT / 15 M, Metal Black
- 1 - 35' - $24.99ea @ HDMI to DVI Cable 5Gbps M/M, 35 FT / 10 M, Black
- 2 - 25' - $28.99ea @ INSTEN Premium HDMI Cable 1.3b M/M, 25 FT/ 7.6 M, Metal Black

Glad I could help. Be sure to use the Free Shipping Code at the top of the page. They use to ship everything for free. Guess those days are gone.
Wow, thanks for the code.. nice. :up
Let me know how the 100-footer works, any loss of signal etc.
I have an optima projector that I want to get off the middle of the floor.
Using a 25-foot component cable now.
50-foot will help, but 100-foot would give me a semi permanent installation.
I can't permanently mount it on ceiling due to space limitations, and lack of throw adjustment.
I'm now thinking about this: HDMI Cable 1.3 M/M, 50 FT / 15 M, Black+ HDMI Signal Booster Combo with another 50'er. Can't beat the price and it's kinda a guarantee. But it's not showing 1.3b though.
BUT as of an hour ago my new neighbor that blew off the West end of his house is now telling me he wants a dedicated Media Room after seeing mine. So all runs will be shorter now. So until I see what's really going on, I have no idea what I'll be using.
Until then . . .

What type of bandwidth is passing through an HDMI cable from a Dish Network receiver to an HD television / monitor?
I think it would be nice to use an HDMI splitter if someone has two rooms they view HDTV in but only views it in one room at a time (for example, livingroom in the daytime, bedroom at night). This saves from having two receivers and you can setup TV1 to work from a UHF remote to operate it in the other room.
Is there much difference in the quality of the picture over component cables vs. HDMI? Can you run cables further with component cables or use a different type of thick wires and have component ends on each end of the wires?

I have seen them spec up to 10 Gbps.
It would be nice to know what DISH's rate is.
With splitters you get into HDCP (HD Copy Protection) where the result is audio to one set and video or an error to the other. You have to make sure the splitter that you select addresses this. But for output to two TV's it looks as though DISH nixed that. It won't work with the gear I have looked at and there are disgruntled user comments posted as proof. But that's not to say it won't work . . . somehow.
HDMI maxs out at 1080p, Component maxs out at 1080i.
I have installed 100' HDMI cables twice (once at my Dad's and once at my house) with no amplification and zero issues whatsoever. Both go to Pioneer plasmas one from a E* receiver and one from a Comcast HDDVR (can't remember the model number sorry).
