  1. I have Samsung 9 Series TV. Need to get HDMI signal from me PC on the first floor. The distance between TV and PC is 250 ft approx.
    Also I have in-wall ethernet cable nearby the TV.
    Found solutions for HDMI over CAT 6 from Atlona, and plan to buy:

    transmitter:

    and receiver:
    https://www.hdwise.com/product.php?productid=2970&cat=0&page=1

    This solution is also supports HDBaseT standart, means I wouldn't care about power, is it right?

    And what's UR opinion of Atlona? Maybe it is better to choose another vendor?

    the HDTX-IR can send signals up to 230ft

    I believe this TV has Ethernet, why not just stream the video you want to watch via this? And not even bother with the HDMI side of things.

    Or you could use an extender. Run Media Center on the HTPC and you can use an X-Box or Ceton Echo as an extender.

    Well, as I learned from Internet, I need any DLNA server, but server from Samsung is not stable, it craches often.
    Thant's why I decided just transmit through HDMI.

    As I understand, this Atlona transmitter and receiver is extender? Or you mean additional device for extend the length? In this case it is not good solution for me, because I try to reduce the number of devices and power plugs in my rooms

  9. Well, in this case I need to buy additional device for media extender, I think it is more expensive then devices I found.
    So as a solution, they recommend to check Octava solution:

    https://www.hdwise.com/product.php?productid=3012&cat=0&page=1

    It is supports 300ft and also 3D.
    Maybe to try this solution?

  10. There are several free DLNA servers. A Ceton Echo is much cheaper (~US$180) than any HDMI over ethernet option -- but requires Windows Media Center running on the PC.
