But sometimes even getting one HDMI cable from your equipment on one side of the room to a television or projector on the other side can be a challenge. Gefen has an answer for this problem; their GTV-WHDMI is a solution that can transmit a HD signal – audio and video - using 5.0 GHz wireless technology.

There are two parts to their system, a sender and a receiver, both look a bit like a wireless router. Installation is extremely simple. Plug an HDMI cable from your source - satellite or cable box, Blu-Ray DVD player or games system - to the sender. Next connect the receiver to your television. Plug both the sender and the receiver into wall outlets and you are done. When they are first plugged in there is a blue light that flashes couple of times on the front of both the sender and receiver, when the these lights quit flashing the signal between the them has been established. Turn on your TV and enjoy.

Gefen claims a range of up to 100 feet. In my evaluation the maximum distance was just a few feet short of this - 94 feet - in line of site testing with no obstructions. Very impressive.

No need to snake cables through walls and very easy installation, what's the downside? It costs $899.00 for system which includes one sender, one receiver, 2 six foot HDMI cables and two power supplies. Gefen makes excellent equipment; this is not a bargain basement solution.
