I'm having nothing but trouble with a 50' HDMI cables from a VIP222 to a new Samsung HD set. Have tried replacing the cables and same problem. Intermittant audio interruptions seems to be the most prevalent problem. Anybody else? Any suggestions?

50 foot??

Do you have an HDMI extender installed?

I have a 8 foot HDMI cable from my ViP222 to my LN-T4069FX Samsung and I have no issues.

Of the issues I've had with my 222 I can honestly say I've never had an HDMI issue. However, my HDMI cable is only 3' long. The 222 sits on top of a chest in the bedroom and the TV (40" Sony) is wall-mounted directly above it.

I would agree, 50' seems a bit of a stretch for HDMI (no pun intended).

I have always heard that anything over about 25 to 30' of HDMI you would need a booster or amplifier.

Yup....an HDMI extender.
