HDMI Sigal to Wall Mounted TV

Technique

Right, I've got my LCD TV wall mounted, with just the aeriel plugged n the back and get my sky through this. I would ideally like to sen a HD signal to the TV, either from a freesat box or a bluray player. I was hoping to take my cable up the electrical ducting and down to the tv (i live in a bungalow so I've got an empty attic above). owever, a HDMI cable is too thick to get up the conduit.

After a bit of research, I think a CAT6 cable and one of these

might do the trick.

Ha anyone any experience of these boxes?

Are there other options?

Should I wait a few years for those Sony wireless hd signal tvs come down in price?

Feedback welcome

Cat 6 (Not cat 5) is ideal way of sending this type of video signal discreetly or via the conduit you mentioned. The hdmi "balums" I have used for runs greater than 30m with great success.

(You can get HDMI over wireless which works 1080i in Europe not by Sony BTW)

Thanks for the reply.

I've seen these cheaper ones on eBay from an UK seller:

Would these be suitable for my needs?

Also, what is CAT6 cable? Is it a newer faster version of CAT5?

Back on topic,

here is a good break down on Cat 6 v Cat 5 ,

The units you found on Ebay seem decent enough , and if you not happy with them its only €40-45.
