HDMI Cable Length

[Methical]

Hi guys,

As some of you know, I've just rebuilt my gaming/HTPC.
I was getting a Radeon HD4XXX (can't remember exact model number)
Think I'm goin' to cancel that one and order something else; something bigger and better

Anyways .. heres my problem

Before that I had a Nvidia card connected to TV via S-Video-to-Composite.
Now my PC is about 6-8 metres away from the TV. (My lounge is a weird shape and its the closest I can get it to the TV )
Now, the most HDMI cables that I have seen are 1.8 m. I haven't yet seen one bigger. Are there ones bigger than that ? Can I joined a few together with special adapters ? Would the video/audio quality degrade at all ?

Cheers guys;

Tim

I'm using one in my front room that's probably 3m so, yeah, they're out there. Video is perfectly acceptable.

My projection TV is 16 feet away from the screen but the HDMI cable is about 30 feet in length and its perfect.

I am using a 50 ft hdmi (15 meters) cable from monoprice with no problems at all.

It shouldn't degrade over that length if it is a decent quality cable (i.e. monoprice is just fine). Looking at wikipedia, you should be looking for a category 2 cable for the longer distances:
