Yes, you can get HDMI transmitters, probably looking at 150-200 quid.

Edit: example

There “were” two technologies competing to be ratified for wireless HDMI.
One works at 5ghz and is not lossless.
One works at 60ghz and is lossless.

Both failed ratification due to being extremely unreliable.

The 5ghz one introduces artifacts and drops connection all the time.
The 60ghz one is restricted to line of sight and is so directional that a housefly can break the connection.

All the wireless HDMI devices you see for sale are B grade sell offs from these failed projects.
Read the reviews, they are very unreliable.

If you do try them make sure you have a no quibble returns policy, you will be returning it.

I was in the same situation not so long ago and tried most , if not all of these units, the best of them died within 3 months.

In the end I drilled holes and used a HDMI over category extender which works fine.

Get a 5m or 10m etcc hdmi cable .. Otherwise it will be fairly exspensive
