My Freebox HD TV and my freebox server are separated at a distance of around 18 meters. I connected the cable to one of the Ethernet ports directly from my Freebox and I plugged the cable into the Freebox TV. everything okay up apart some time signal loss time so that the image freezes for 1-5 minutes! not very annoying that rarely happens. May I will perhaps take a shielded cable 20 meters!
