Is anyone successfully using a 35' or longer cable on the output of the Oppo HM-31? I need a HDMI switch and I like the 1.3 certification and future-proofing of this model, but I'm also currently borrowing a monoprice 5x1 that I know works flawlessly at 1080p/60 over my Lenexpo 10m flat 24AWG cable but that only supports 1.2 features and has some interop probs. I was all set to buy the Oppo based on the good comments by folks here when I read the CNET review which said the HM-31 failed their long cable test while the monoprice 5x1 passed perfectly. It seems the two SI based switches (Oppo and Radiience) both failed the long cable test. I'm using this to connect my equipment to my RS1x at the back of the room so I need it to work at longer lengths.
