are my HDMI cables bad?

I had picture for a few minutes and now the picture is black. I have a Dish HD 211 receiver. This is not good, I bought 50 feet a few months ago to run into a 2nd room.

ok so I disconnecdted the cable from the 211 and plugged it back in and picture came back and then a few minutes later it's gone again!

I'm not sure what the limit is, but 50' may be far enough for it to need amplification in order to stay synched. Does this happen on the HDTV that the receiver is near, or just the one in the other room?

i actually got it to work now i guess it was loose, I have the 211 in the main room and the 50 feet running into the bedroom.

Ah, ok. Well, I'm glad you got it worked out.
