OK new baby is on the way in a month, 2 year old's new bedroom needs to be sorted, Cat 5e cable runs under the floor in the 2 year old's room.
Now that i have that out the way, i am about to buy a Panasonic TXL42E6B to put in our bedroom. It will be connected up to a LAN network but i would like to access the Sky HD box downstairs in the living room. Whilst browsing this forum i came across a Neet® - HDMI EXTENDER - Baluns - 50m OVER CAT 5e / CAT 6. This needs two cat5e cables to connect to the first part of the unit along with the HDMI cable running from a splitter to the sky box. The two cat5e cables are then run up to a second unit were the TV is with another HDMI.
i currently have a single cable from a 5 port switch (will upgrade to an 8 port if this works) in the living room running upstairs to another 8 port switch which supplies network access to a couple of IP cameras and the TV.
would it be possible to run 2 x cat5e cable to the downstairs switch at the beginning of the extender then for the signal to run on a single cable up to the upstairs switch with another two cables to run to the final part of the extender to HDMI.
This sounds horribly confusing lol and i would so appreciate the help if you can as the master plan is that we have a Harmony Ultimate remote with Hub that can be accessed via a smartphone app allowing us to control the HD box from upstairs as well as the HDMI switch.
I really don't want to pay Sky for another box lol
Many thanks in advance for any helpful replies and answers to my conundrum
