Hi Nancy!

 BM>>> True! And good to know a lot of others are having the same problem,
 BM>>> which hopefully will also lead to the manufacturers of the Redmere
 BM>>> cables and/or the HDMI video switches to fix the problem.
 NB>>> One can hope, anyway.... :)
 BM>> I couldn't remember why I bought the Redmere (amplified) cables in the
 BM>> first place; only longish run is in the Living Room and that's fine;
 BM>> up here in the Computer Room from the test/working-on area to the
 BM>> Computer Desk is a little longer and that probably was OK, or at least
 BM>> is now. Maybe bought an amplifed cable to prevent a problem but created
 BM>> one. Possibly I had patched together a couple of short cables I had on
 BM>> hand, decided to do it right and read long cable can create signal
 BM>> issues so decided on the amplifed cable.  Oh well.
 NB>> All history now... <G>
 BM> Pretty much.  Suppose the Good News is did learn the amplified Redmere
 BM> cables are good for long distances as long as not into a switch, need
 BM> to be connected directly.
 NB> Now you know...  :)   And don't need to toss them, just use in an
 NB> application where it would be called for... ;)

Right.  The cables work fine, just not with a switch.  No reason to
toss; not sure where I would be using them in the future but have them 
(IIRC just two) for some to be determined use.
