Redmere Cables

[olds]

Yes, I know they are directional.
I purchased some Redmere HDMI cables because they are thin (very thin) and I wanted to clean up the wires on my home theater.

I ran the cables from the peripherals (Source) to my receiver (Display). Then I ran one cable from the receiver (Source) to my TV (Display).

It didn't feed the TV, there was no signal. I switched back to a regular HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV and everything worked fine.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a different thin HDMI cable I can use from the receiver to the TV?

Did you check to make sure the labels weren't backwards?

Try without the receiver. Go from the source straight to the TV using the RedMere cable. Also I find RedMere only useful for long HDMI runs. If your run is 6 feet or less other thin HDMI non-Redmere cables exist, however, physics starts to take over. You can only go so thin with the wire conductors before you lose integrity more readily... in other words, avoid the cheap thin cables... unless your run is 3ft or less.
