I thought the HDMI spec was so horribly inefficient that runs over 25-30' aren't recommended without a signal amp.

Gefen and others make HDMI to Ethernet to HDMI cables for runs up to 330 ft, so that should cover about any size of a house. See it here http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2484

Brett-

That's kinda my point. $700+ to extend the range is painful when they could have just engineered good ol' coax cable to handle 1080p, HDCP, -and- a much longer cable length. But, that wouldn't have brought in nearly as much cash for the licensees or licensors with a new market for now needed devices like the one you just linked.
