So you might as well abandon that line of experiment... ;)

Essentially yes, though the experiment is essentially concluded as
what is available currently doesn't work that way. I now know to not
use Redmere HDMI cables with video switches.

Something useful came out of the fiasco... :)

True! And good to know a lot of others are having the same problem,
which hopefully will also lead to the manufacturers of the Redmere
cables and/or the HDMI video switches to fix the problem.

One can hope, anyway.... :)

I couldn't remember why I bought the Redmere (amplified) cables in the first place; only longish run is in the Living Room and that's fine;
up here in the Computer Room from the test/working-on area to the
Computer Desk is a little longer and that probably was OK, or at least
is now. Maybe bought an amplifed cable to prevent a problem but created one. Possibly I had patched together a couple of short cables I had on hand, decided to do it right and read long cable can create signal
issues so decided on the amplifed cable. Oh well.

All history now... <G>

... All probabilities are 50%. Either a thing will happen or it won't.

A very accurate statement!

And somewhat applies to the above discussion, besides... ;)

Pretty much. Suppose the Good News is did learn the amplified Redmere
cables are good for long distances as long as not into a switch, need to
be connected directly.
