multi room with sky hd

joeali101

Greetings all.
I have a question for all you techies here,
Basically I have sky HD in my living room and a sky+ reciever in another room.I was thinking of getting rid of the the sky+ reciever and piping a hdmi output from the hd box in the living room to the other tv and then control it with a magic eye.So basically,

1) i need to split the hdmi output from my sky hd box

2) I need to run it 15 metres to the other hdmi tv

do i need some kind of hdmi splitter?

i don't see hdmi cables this length on the net so i'm wondering is there an issue with signal degradation over long runs.
is there a way of transmitting a hdmi signal wirelessly?
