2401W 2016 - Feeding an HDMI cable to Bedroom Wall

Any suggestions on routing an HDMI Cable from the AV Center over to the bedroom wall (backed to the bathroom/shower). There is AC and RG6 Cable in the current Bedroom TV location. I want to run an HDMI cable split from my DirectTV receiver so i get the same video in both spots.

I thought about doing that to ours, but found no good route for the cable unless I removed some wall panels. So I just went the wireless HDMI route.

Might work?

How about using a coax to HDMI balun like this - https://www.amazon.com/single-75ohm-.../dp/B00HWIWEMU

Don't know if the wiring topography in your MH would work, but it might be worth a look.

Thanks for ideas

Wireless will likely have some delay vs the HDMI over COAX but both good ideas

Wireless will allow us to keep the COAX dedicated for Antenna use.

There is a wireless solution available for HDMI on Amazon. Costs about $200 but well worth it when compared to trying to route that cable. I've been trying to route an HDMI cable in the Legacy from the DVD player below the TV up through the cabinet to the TV and am just about ready to kick for the wireless unit for just that short run. When purchasing though, watch out for units that indicate they require line of sight to transmit. So long as they'll work without line of sight, you should be good to go.

...and long HDMI cables themselves are quite expensive and DO NOT work very well so wireless is the best solution. HDMI cable lengths are a tricky thing but if you're going over 15-20 feet...you should read this:

True, good HDMI cables can be expensive, but getting cheaper all the time. But if you use high speed cables w/o internet, length isn't a problem and cost isn't that bad. I have a 100 and two 50 foot in my house that work fantastic

Not familiar with your model but how does the coax get there? If it is in the roof you could pull it through the same chase if there is room for another wire.
