The laptop is not providing a strong enough signal. Digital connections can't go fuzzy; as long as the signal is strong enough to decode, the picture will be crystal clear. Drop below that threshold though, and you break up the stream of data. You can't decode it without the missing pieces, so you either get junk on the screen or nothing at all.
Solution: Buy a shorter cable or a better quality 25 ft cable.
