I had often disturbances in the signal to my beamer. My set-up was: Onkyo HT-S 3405 - 2m HDMI Cable - HDMI Splitter King (active) - 15m HDMI Cable - Acer H6500 I have the repeater passive with 0.9m HDMI cable before the projector hung (gain stage 3). Since I always have a stable signal. I thought the problem was the splitter and wanted to invest in an HDMI repeater with 2 outputs. I can save me now.
