HDMI over mains any good?

[TorqueDirty]

Hi Folks,

Looking for a way to get Sky signal upstairs in full HD without paying for a going to Multiroom package.

I have tried an SD wireless system - it's no good, rubbish and unreliable picture sadly.

Just seen the HDMI over mains option. Very expensive but if it works it might be a worthwhile investment.

Anyone tried this option? Are there better / cheaper and equally effective alternatives?

Thanks

Thanks for the info!

Have been looking at this system for the HDMI over mains:-

So not £1500 like yours was a few years ago but a still a tidy sum at £300.

That said, if it works flawlessly then it might be worth it in the long run.

Can you run Cat6 or Even coax ? If you can then use a Balun set, Cat 6 better, will need to split Hdmi out of source sky box

The house is actually wired with coax (although I have blocked off the socket in the sitting room as at the time I had no use for it).

The coax is distributed from the attic with lines going to both the rooms I want to have Sky in - so it would not be too hard to join it all up in to one cable going from the living room to the bedroom. Pain to knock holes in the wall again but it is all repairable I guess.

Mind you, looks like the equipment above is the same price as the HDMI over mains, so is there any advantage given that I will have to open up the living room wall to access the blocked off coax socket? If the HDMI over mains kit works just as well then this seems to be the easier option - but only if it truly works!

Any other suggestions?
