HDMI over Cat 5/6

[cram]

I'm potentially going to have a long run a projecto (c 20m). Does anyone have experience of sending HDMI over Cat5 or 6 network cable? If so what products were used and was there any degradation in image quality?

A mate of mine used to use a Lindy balun component video setup to send the 1080i/720p output from his sky+HD box to a second room via network cable. It worked fine with no loss in quality. HDCable do some cheap solutions but I would speak to tmfsolutions, Joe and John there really know their stuff there and should be able to sort you out.

KEENE Electronics or LEKTROPACKS are also both very good and even now offer HD over wireless but this is quite expensive.

I think that wireless HDMI has now been more or less abandoned. At £800 a pop, no wonder.....

I did look into a wireless system but at the time it was over a grand! I managed to get 2x30m of CAT5 terminated cable off EBAY for £5 a pop and HDMI-CAT5 sender/Reciver for about £30 the pair also of EBAY and quality is good only downside is inabilty to remotely control the devices.

Just a quick follow up on this - I'm presuming home plugs won't work with this solution?? (i.e. instead of a long CAT5 solution)
