The distance between my HD video source and HDTV is about 60 feet. My local home theatre specialist tells me that running a HDMI cable over that distance will likely result in poor video/audio quality and suggest using a coax to HDMI video baluns. I can buy 65 foot long HDMI v1.4 cables for about $70. The video baluns extender installed is $600. Am I getting good advice?
