HDMI Splitter

[pruney]

My man cave is 40 metres from my house .. we have been running a fibre optic cable so far down to it from the mini q box and it works well .. however we wanted to put the football on outside the shed as well as inside by way of a splitter but as soon as we connected the splitter box the signal drops on bothe TVs .. is it because of the distance we are already running from or is there a way round it

Hi @pruney  you have posted in the mobile phone section, hopefully one of the moderators or oracles will move it to the correct section for you.

I have moved this for you @pruney .

@pruney 40 metres is stretching something that needs to carry between 12 and 18Gb/s which is what Sky Q UHD signal over HDMI requires. There are active distributiion systems that use ethernet cabelling or fibre links but they are expensive and check they support the required data rate just saying they support UHD is not good enough.

Your HDMI switch has to support HDCP2.2 which again is not a given.

Whether it is worth it especially after a few beers is up to you.
