Hi All

So in our Office building we want to display our DSTV on 4 different places within the building but i have no idea how to approach this. Ive looked at HDMI over ethernet solutions but im getting different opinions from places i phone and some tell me it will work others tell me it wont.

Any suggestions or ideas?
 
Do you have a security camera system? You can stream the DSTV as a camera channel via the security system and watch it on your PC....

EDIT: Noticed you mention HDMI - wont get HD via my method... nor will you be able to stream via anything for HD. You would have to use HDMI splitters & extenders. Each point would have its own cabling to the source ... plan it well, can work. ie, secondary split from 1st extension.

Ive checked the splitters extenders option but im not to sure whether we should split the main HDMI cable into 4 and then on each of those points transmit and receive via the cat6 cabling we have in the building or should we put a transmitter on the main HDMI cable and go through a seperate network switch with the receivers on the other side?
 
I looked into this briefly, back then it was two Cat5 cables necessary for the HDMI extension for just one extra TV. As I understand it, you have to run this completely separately from your network. Switches would be incompatible? You would use the HDMI/Cat converters.

Hmmm dunno wtf is going on but i cant access the site whatsoever.
 
Well. Product is a 4-way HDMi over Cat5/6 splitter. 1st output is HDMi for local screen. Other 3 is Cat5/6 for far screens. You also get looping receiver units, so you can cascade even more receivers onto the system. You have to use dedicated cables, so you can't run it with your ethernet.
 
So one cat5e cable per TV. No going through switches, use only supplied Transmitter / receivers. What is the cost of the 4 way ?
 
Oky i checked it on my phone. Looks like this is what we need.

Whats the cost on a unit like this?
