I want to move my TV to a different corner of the room but the cables from the satellite will not reach. I want to leave the Sky+ box where it is therefore and connect the box to the TV wirelessly - is this possible? I have tried with a product that I bought on Amazon which works fine connecting my PC to the TV but does not work with the Sky+ box.

@Bonzodog1 I've used an HDMI wireless video sender in the past and in my experience they work ok providing you don't move and don't switch other electrical appliances on. Interference as the problem as @Annie+UK posted. There are very expensive similar devices which carry the signal over the mains wiring in your home rather than wirelessly which might work better.
An HDMI over ethernet cable is more likely to give a good result.

A HDMI video sender will take ANY video source and transmit it wirelessly, though it would be easier and much cheaper to extend the satellite cables with a kit from Amazon etc... also cables will not suffer from wifi interference

Thanks Mark39, supp question - my Tx gets power from a USB port. Does the USB port at the back of the Sky box provide this power? I get a different (more positive result when I connect the USB separately to my PC.

That would suggest that your Sky box's USB port can't deliver the power required by the sender - which doesn't surprise me, bearing in mind the age of the box. You'd probably be better off using a plug-in power adaptor.
