gefenwirelesshdmi1 Just got a new, fancy RF remote but don’t want to run a long and expensive HDMI cable to your display? So…buy this even more expensive wireless HDMI solution from Gefen! That’s what I would do.
It works over UWB and functions up to 30 feet in line-of-sight but less when walls are involved. A switch is built-in too allowing component switching from either 2 HDMI ports or the 1 component input. Best of all, you don’t need a fancy RF remote as these boxes function as an IR repeater for your current remotes. Too bad it retails for $999. You could even buy a super long Monster Cable and a RF Harmony for that amount of cake.
