I currently run Sky HD in my front room to my 42" Panasonic Viera TV
I have just moved house and are having a full rewire and in the process am setting up a 50" panasonic with Freesat and a Panasonic Bluray player in the rear room, some 10m away.
My sparkes first suggested that I could link up the rear TV with the front room sky HD box using the old fashioned TV aerial cable technique. This will all be hidden under the floorboards.He then suggested that I could get a long HDMI lead and a splitter, and I could have HD Sky HD transmissions in the back room as well. Good idea, but I'd only watch the odd match, so it would be cost prohibitive if I went for a decent cable. He then produced a thick catalogue with 10m long HDMI cables coming in at £15 and switching boxes under £30. Am I wasting my time with this cheap option, or will I be able to get a half decent HD in the back room?
