    Question Signal disappears from my projector after 45 min. Too long hdmi?

    Thanks a lot! I will try that first. If this does not work, I will try to get a new cable. So, one extra question: the 10 m cable that I have is old (it was bought with the projetor, so it is about 10 years old), but at that time it was very high quality. Now when I look at it, it looks thicker...
