Thread: PC in one room, HDTV in other...

This is really a pretty simple question with probably no easier workaround. Not rocket science. Just wondering if I'm missing any options.

My PC is in one room. My HDTV and home theater is in another. I'd like to feed PC to HT. Only options I can think of:

1) HDMI and digital coax through the wall
2) HDMI and digital coax through the hallways

Either way I need long cables. :-(

Is there some magical third option I haven't considered?

There's Wireless HDMI or Wireless HD. Here's a general article on these two competing standards. (BluRay vs HD-DVD anyone?)

Not sure you want to pay $700 to Gefen for their Wireless HDMI product:

The great Oracle of Google might turn up other alternatives.

How bout a no wire solution?

Nice find McStrange... leaning toward this now though:

RJ45 is much easier to do long distance runs with, compared to the other options. And this way I have full access to my PC, not just what's on the external drive.

Yeh, and around $75 I think, and you'd need a pair. Cheaper to get a 100ft component cable from monoprice.com for $40.

Awesome, that makes me happy.
