Hi all, does anyone know if HDMI senders are any good these days?

Was thinking of purchasing one so that I can hide a sky box and Nintendo switch in the cupboard to the left. Current setup is below and trying to utilise as much space as possible in the lounge, as due to the door on the right being at a kind of angle, it doesn't sit too well with a stand or even a shelf coming out the wall (tested a few but sent back). The cupboard doesn't have any power in it, but as another option would it be easy enough to get a socket in there? Any recommendations or ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Not sure about HDMI senders, but I've used a DVB-T modulator before to distribute content to any TV in the house. Will be illegal though if using it in a transmitter/antenna arrangement.
 
Getting power in to the cupboard should be easy enough if you have a power socket anuwhere near it and you dont mind a small amount of repainting and filling to cover up any holes that need to be made
 
In case anyone else stumbles across this or wondered on the final solution I went with, I used this setup.

Powerline adapters - TL-PA9020P (2000Mbps ones)

Neet n83 pro sender/receiver

5 port hdmi switch

2 x cat6 cables

4 x hdmi cables.

Cost around £200 in total so wasn’t cheap, but has saved me the hassle of drilling holes, moving sockets etc so happy how it came out.

Got the sky box, ps4 & switch all connected. Can confirm it works perfectly fine over the powerline adapters and am getting perfect 1080p quality. Don’t have any requirements for 4K so it’s perfectly good for me but I think they may offer a 4K version but not sure if it has the pass through like the n83 to work through routers/switches/powerlines etc, but drop neet cables a message on amazon if anyone’s looking for a similar setup as their customer service is one of the best I’ve dealt with.
 
Interesting, does it need it's own dedicated network or can you just plug it in with everything else?

Is it 2 way as well? Not needed for your usage but if used to connect to office would be good if it could send PC to living room and then switch to send sky to office for example.

I had a wireless HDMI sender a few years ago but had to get rid as it killed my 5Ghz wireless network and only really worked over a very short distance.
 
.. the fibre has arc ... but also the samsung qleds have a small fibre to the tv panel, so if they sold an elongated version ????
edit : but yes there is a chipset from hdmi->optical->hdmi so maybe others will strart selling it more cheaply too

I'm running it completely on it's own. Obviously you can connect it to your router to send the broadband signal to anywhere in the house, but I am just literally using it to send the HDMI signal, so there's no internet going across it, just purely the video signal. Think with what you are asking, it is possible, but I'm sure you would need more than one receiver.
