PC to TV with HDMI - lots of 'noise'
Discussion
Asking for a friend who's currently without internet.
So he has two TV's - one in his living room, the other in his bedroom.
At the living room TV is his PC, Xbox and Sky box, all connected by HDMI.
He then has a HDMI cable running from his bedroom TV, into his living room and behind the living room TV, so if he wants to watch Sky or play Xbox from the bedroom, he just swaps the HDMI cable, and goes in the bedroom.
The Sky and Xbox work fine, however when he connects his bedroom TV to the PC, he gets a lot of 'noise' in the black areas of the screen. His graphics card also has a DVI connection, so he also tried connecting the HDMI cable to that via a DVI>HDMI adaptor, and he's still getting lots of noise.
Again, the Sky and Xbox work fine via the bedroom HDMI, and the Sky, Xbox and PC all work fine to the living room TV they are stationed at.
The only issue is with the PC to bedroom HDMI connection.
Any ideas what it could be, interference of some kind?
Any help welcome, I'm speaking to him via text so will have to relay messages back and forth..
