In the market for a 15 m HDMI to go from my pj and 2 shorter ones maybe 1.5 for my setup. Currently have a chord supershield that I got from what hifi a while ago. Dilema.... Might be alone on this but i kinda want all my cables to be the same. So do i keep the chord and get 1.5 and 15v m version if possible or do i sell the cable and go and get all three from somewhere like that cable?

I have a wide variety of HDMI cables. I thought about making them all match and then gave up as it's an expensive route to take and you can spend the money on other more important components.

I bought a 17m HDMI cable for my current set up and found that it was a bit flaky with weaker signals. I tried an HDMI repeater but that just amplified the problems in the signal and gave me a "pink mist" over the picture. I got rid of the cable and went for a HDMI over Cat 6 extender from HDCable.co.uk, which works well and is HDMI 1.4 and 3D compatible for when I upgrade in the future.

So I'd buy two short HDMI cables, an HDMI over Cat 6 extender and some Cat 6 cables for the rest of the distance...
