Ellies. About ~R500, sadly you won't get any longer than 10mOriginally Posted by B1nary
apparently you'll need a repeater of sorts. Unless your TV has a RJ45 plug.
Read some time ago about some conversion for HDMI to CAT5/6, though you'll need to run two separate cables (one for each, video/audio). Still should work out cheaper, of course depending on the length.
I used to have a 10m HDMI from my PC to the TV on the other side of the room, problem is what people would trip over it quite often as it just reached the TV.
Easiest option.
Get a Raspberry Pi, use it with RaspBMC set it up as a HTPC and just stream media across a network to it. Will cost about R700 for the Pi, HDMI cable and a SD Card. Then the only cables you'll be worrying about is the network cable, which is easier to work with.
Only problem I have found with the Pi is that it is not powerful enough to play 10 bit encoded X264, although that won't be a problem it is mostly used by some anime fansub encoders.
Don't an HDMI cable longer than 10m, you will suffer from image loss since the cable isn't designed for long distances. Either run a cat6 cable or keep your length to 10m and if you do go for a 10m HDMI cable then don't go cheap as you will suffer signal loss then.
