I am a current Dish subscriber. Would like to run an extension from my receiver 100 feet from the Dish receiver to the remote TV in a different room. I have a 100' cat6 cable that tests good and had purchased a set of Ethernet to HDMI converters. I am getting no signal to the remote TV. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on the receiver or TV that needs to be adjusted to get the signal to the TV? .

Some of those HDMI over cat6 converters are one direction. Check each end for a “send” or “receive” label.
How much did you spend on the converter? Is it powered with an AC adaptor?
Try using a short 3 foot ethernet jumper to test.
Some of those devices are junk, especially if you bought it on eBay or amazon for a super cheap price.
Bought one off eBay for $40, would not sync. Had to go buy one locally for $100.
The T-base ones seem to work best that I believe convert the video to an IP signal, rather than taking the pins on the HDMI and converting them to straight cat5 or 6.

I fought a cable that was showing good but would not work and in the end found out I had a CAT6 reverse polarity cable (crossover) and didn't know it. Probably a small chance this is the problem but may what to check.
