Could also be interference from external sources, or other poor
quality comms. Using a 5m cable to connect a Topfield PVR to a
PC for offloading programmes can be quite unreliable, yet a 1/2M
works ok.

Note, this can't be voltage drop related, as the Topfield is
not powered by the PC, data link only!
