Can you expand on just what you're trying to do? There are a number of possible solutions. There are various wireless HD / wireless HDMI systems on the market, but those are generally designed for short distances (30 feet or so), mainly to get content to a wall mounted TV without having to run cables, or to allow hiding the content sources somewhere else in the room. Some do have longer ranges, but none of these are inexpensive. There are wireless A/V repeater systems, though these tend to be SD. There are also systems that can use existing coax cabling if you have that in place. A Slingbox is an option, with a SlingCatcher at the receiving end. It might be the cheapest way to get HD content to another room, with the bonus of being able to stream to a laptop and smartphone clients with SlingPlayer. Both the Slingbox and SlignCatcher are wired-only, but you can use them with an external WiFi bridge or powerline adapter. -- [email protected] / [email protected] Geek, Gweep, Technophile, me. www.GizmoLovers.com / www.MegaZone.org / www.Eyrie-Productions.com Hail Eris Twitter.com/megazone / Facebook.com/megazone / www.LinkedIn.com/in/megazone "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 432-363-4296 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
