Wireless HDMI

Mad_maxx

got an electrician to fit a HDMI cable in a chased wall six months ago and a power cable as well, unfortunately the goose didn’t run the HDMI cable through either ducting or trunken and when the signal failed I was unable to pull a new one through as the wall is filled in now

we currently have a new HDMI cable hanging loose across the living room from the sky box to the tv , was told recently that SKY block wireless HDMI transmitters unless you pay for SKY multi room ?

any suggestions welcome

HDMI.org are the sole licensee for all things HDMI.

They have never ratified a wireless HDMI solution because they all failed the category tests for point A to B HDMI transmission.

One worked at 5GHz and was lossy.

The other worked at 60ghz and was line of sight only , and so sensitive that dust motes would kill the signal.

The only wireless HDMI solutions available on the market are sell offs from these failed projects and are uncertified and extremely unreliable.

They are only good for maybe powerpoint presentations in a meeting room , and unreliable even then , they are certainly no good for watching movies or TV.

Your best solution is maybe HDMI over fibre ( Ruipro are the favourites for this ) but they are not cheap.

Whatever one you choose , make sure its in ducting and easily replaceable.

Sky do not do wireless HDMI , rather they use a wireless network solution to transfer the received satellite signal between boxes before it is uncompressed and turned into a live HDMI signal.

Sky Glass an option? Works over WiFi. Here, it’s a whole new TV but in UK same service is available over a small box.

If you could manage to pull through a coax cable , you could use a HDMI modulator. I've used technomate models in the past and have found they work well.

Have you seen the price? And you are locked in with them - to be avoided.
