Wireless HDMI?

The best solution is to get a wireless media player then stream from network shares.

Not sure of the need for wireless here. Why don't you pick up a 10/100 network hub (1 gig not required but helpful) and a WDTV Live+. You'll be able to play nearly everything and have HDMI to your TV.

PC to hub, cat5
Hub to WDTV, cat5
WDTV to TV, HDMI

Should be able to do it for @$100US with no changes to PC, plenty of bandwidth, and no playing around with codecs (mostly). Just play the files with MPCHC from the PC.

And 5.1 audio out via HDMI or SPDIF.

I would definitely pick this solution over a wireless HDMI video adapter. The cost is probably close to one of the better wireless HDMI video adapters, assuming one has a wireless-N home network already.

Neomaine's solution is also good. Wireless home networking can't match Ethernet-based wired home networking for speed or reliability.

something like this ?

I can't find any user reviews for that exact version yet, but its predecessors did not get good reviews. There is another device from a company called "Warpia" that makes similar claims, and it gets lackluster reviews too. http://www.amazon.com/Warpia-StreamHD-Wireless-Full-1080P/dp/B004GTN0T4 ...

I did say 'like'. In anycase, I checked several reviews on quite a few different models, as advised to do from previous replies, and found both positive and negative - no surprise there. However, if 'reviews' are a yardstick for people here, let it be known that the positive reviews outnumbered the negative. And most of the negative comments focused on installation and device proximity. I gather this is not a mature technology. So, again, no big surprise.

-fwiw

An average giving a three star overall rating on Amazon is lackluster as far as I am concerned, plus I count three star reviews as negative. Apparently you count them as positive or don't count them. You are right, this is not a mature technology but if you want to gamble on it, that is your call.

... You are right, this is not a mature technology ...

Understand I am quite novice in these things and was only making a theoretical conclusion based on what I have researched. Thank you for the confirmation.
