I apologise in advance if this is the wrong section, please advise if so.
I rigged up a Rasberry Pi (Raspmc) as a Media Centre for a pal of mine, to keep wiring to a minimum I connect to his NAS via WiFi, which has it's limitations. The TV powers the Pi via USB.
I noted that his SKY box transmits internet over the HDMI cable (1.4 standard) which is cool and a bit new to me. The question:
Is there some way of getting at the HDMI cable and run a small RJ45 ethernet cable from it (to the Pi), whist still sending the SKY signal to the TV?
We could run a network cable from the router but it's in another room. I'm at work so I can't remember if the sky box (that is in the room in question) has more that one HDMI out or a RJ45 socket (I don't think so)
Any help appreciated.
