I have an longtime problem with my flm 3232 polaroid hdtv. I have dish network service with the dual receiver. The 3232 is the second tv connected via a coax cable. it work fine on the tv cable input (just a regular picture, not HD) but does not get a signal when connected to the HD Cable input. Since I cannot afford a 40 ft HDMI cable do I have to settle for no HD picture. Is there a solution?

Hello, you probably already have gotten this resolved, but I do have some answers to your post. Any cable that you have running from TV1 to the TV2 will nor give you a true HD picture. You could get a CAT5 cable with HDMI ends, but the longer the cable, the less true HD you have. The best resolution to this is to get an additional receiver, or to just stick with the SD picture. If you have any more questions, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected], or you can find us on Twitter!

There are many good quality 40 and 50 foot HDMI cables that are low loss. I have installed a few NXG brand cables for people and have not had any problems with pictures degrading at the 50 foot length. HDMI over Cat 5 is a little iffy at best. If you do some serious hunting, a good quality HDMI cable at 50 feet should be around $60 online.
