Soultion looking for a problem!!

That's what my wife calls it We have a satellite receiver in the living room that I would occasionally want to watch in the bedroom. My previous solution was to feed the RF output of the receiver into the antenna line and watch it in the bedroom. Three things I didn't like was the picture is a letter-boxed and standard definition and I can't change channels. My first thought was to run a long HDMI cable to the bedroom but that would entail some large holes which I didn't want to do, plus still no control. Then I found this http://tinyurl.com/gpw35pp Since I have the tool to make a custom Ethernet cable I only need two 1/4" holes. This works perfectly the only drawback was unplugging and plugging the cable, enter solution #2 http://tinyurl.com/z9j96u8 this and two short HDMI patch cables makes for a neat implementation.
