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.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
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
