I need my computer to convert side-by-side 3D from the PVR into checkerboard for the TV. Mainly because Samsung dropped support for my TV, and when Mitsubishi made an adapter they locked it to their TVs. I think I'd be looking at either 35ft or 15ft. Or a short component cable into an HDMI extender, but that's really goofy to use an HDMI cable to carry analog signals, I think.

Yeah, no 1080p is fine. HDMI is copy-protected so it won't work. I could use a really short component cable and a long USB cable if I had bought a different input device, but the USB ones are more expensive.

There's a few ways to do it, but they all use component... I think.
