Minibox Connection
I have set up 4 TVs with Miniboxes. Three went fine, but the fourth is a problem. I swapped out other miniboxes that worked with the one that did not. All the boxes are good. The TV that does not work is about a year old. I get an error message that states that there is a connection interruption and to tighten any connections. Did that with out success. Changed out the cable (coax) which did not help. My thought is that I may have too long of a cable run. After briefly investigating possible solutions I found that there are devises on the market called "Coax - HDMI Signal Extender Boosters". They are priced from $8.50 to $150.00 (which sounds screwy to me). Does anyone have any insight or suggestions?

You fail to tell us how long an hdmi run you need. Above 10' or so, I would use an active cable, like this from monoprice. Does the minibox work with that tv with a short cable? From your post, I'm not even sure if your problem with th cable feed or hdmi from the box to set.

The current run is about 75' and the other 3 are about 60'. The TV was set up on a shorter cable in a different part of the house, but did not receive all channels. I may try setting it up with a much shorter cable and see what happens. Thx!
