Connecting Sky Q to TV

Hello !! Will it be possible to connect my Sky Q box by using wireless HDMI connectors as my existing hdmi long cable is faulty and it was going through my attic which is impossible to lay again due to new wall. Any help will be appreciated many thanks.

Hi @Aami Signal speed degrades on HDMI cables longer than about 4 metres, if your lead is longer than this then you will get picture break up etc, which may be why you think you have a faulty HDMI cable?

Wireles HDMI connectors will not work with SKYQ.

Wireless HDMI is a thing, but there has never been a post reporting successful use with Sky Q.

For UHD, certainly, but HD should be possible over longer distances.
