[brianb]

I’m looking at ways to distribute a sky or alternative HDMI signal to multiple tv’s around the house and stumbled on this hdmi/cat5-6 distributer, other than being pretty expensive it looks ideal for what im after

I've been using these for a couple of years,cheap and never had any problems. 1 pair per TV then use a standard hdmi matrix to sort the switching out. They are currently £35 each and you can get a 4x4 hdmi matrix for about £100.

Do the tvs have HD free view tuners in them?

If so you could use one of these if you have coax to each tv

Your sky box will appear as a channel within your free view epg
You will need an he splitter to run your local tv and you could control the sky box via the app

The HDAnywhere is good and robust.

The reason for the cost is that it uses a very robust technology called HDbaseT. We don't use any other technology in our smaller installs. Not had a single problem using this tech from any number of suppliers.

I am not knocking the cheaper systems and for some they work well. But for use installing a system and selling a service weneed to knownit will hit the mark on every singe installation.

PH Rate always available, wink wink.

Chris - I need some kit to send a Virgin TiVo signal from the main box/TV in the lounge to a room next door. We have coax cable already run. I'd like to have an IR repeater in the second room, but also in the lounge as the TiVo box is in a sideboard with solid doors. Can you help? Based in Reading. Cheers, Andy

+1 for HD Anywhere. We also use it on our installs. Works well every time.

I have this NEET cables HDMI over CAT 6 setup & it is faultless. I am running it over 50m and using the IR control. I can highly recommend it.

Edit to add - you can use their NEET HDMI splitter in front of the extender and use multiple runs if required.
