“HDMI TV w/o Cables: Wireless v. Power Line? Whenever audio/visual signals are not directly transmitted via HDMI cable, there is some loss of signal data due to bandwidth limitations. In terms of HDMI TV without stringing yards of expensive HDMI cable throughout your home, I have found 2 modes of signal transmission: wireless and power line (plugs into your standard home power outlet). What is the actual loss of audio/visual data with transmission comparing wireless with power line modes? What are the pros and cons of each mode?”

I can't speak for technical details on loss but I've tested a ton of wireless solutions and they are buggier than this method. Picture quality was great and the biggest advantage of power line is there is no issue with distance and need for line of site in comparison to wireless. For the price you won't find anything that can handle something in a home even when it's under 2,000 sq ft to send a signal to another floor or across a house without line of site. Wireless just doesn't work well more than 30 feet away when there are walls involved.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The wireless option is subject to all sorts of electrical interference, even from neighboring houses. The power line option requires a clean copper connection for best results. A power strip, surge protector, extension cord or just the connection between two circuit breaker panels can be a problem. In either case, try it out but keep your receipt.
