Hi,

I am trying to hook up 3x 7.5m hdmi cables with simple, cheap extenders. Needless to say, I get no signal.

What can I do for my screen to display the source properly? Buy more expensive extenders that carry the signal through to the next cable?

Household hdmi cable cant extend to 75ft; there's too much signal degradation as there is not enough shielding in the cable design. Commercial cable can stretch that far (expect to pay about $100 for it) or you can use two cat5e or cat6 cable with an hdmi adapter.

Making one 22.5m cable. Quality wouldn't have to be the upper best, but just to stream some videos on a beamer.
