Hello everyone,
I have a project for a screening room, and I'm not very strong in technical matters..
Here is my issue:
I receive CanalSat (via satellite, as my internet speed is insufficient) in my living room and watch it on my TV, so far no problem.
I would like to transmit the signal to a projector in another room (about 10 meters away). I don't particularly want to watch two different channels (in fact, I don't think that's possible).
Additionally, I would like to possibly set up a small system for sound (home cinema)
And so all of this wirelessly!
I haven't bought the projector or the home cinema yet
Is my project feasible, or do I absolutely need to go wired?
Thanks in advance for your answers...
Damien

Hello, I'd like to share my little idea and experience about the video projector. Honestly, a wifi connection to the satellite modem is unimaginable.
I can't answer you.
If it were me, I would see a connection from the satellite decoder in your projection room (an HDMI wired connection is a maximum of 10m).
I would envision a dedicated mini-computer for multimedia in your projection room (totally) that integrates all the peripherals to schedule and record your Canal shows with a Blu-ray player and an amplifier plus speakers (wireless is possible), even an old one for audio because sound is 50% of the pleasure.
The graphics card and processor of a PC will be more powerful than any other recorder and home factory setup.
That’s what I've adopted along with my nephew who is a builder and computer repairer; you thus have all the controls next to your video projector (and your sofa).
No need for a super PC for video display.
My projector is connected via HDMI to my PC. The sound comes from the PC to an amplifier and speakers. I have a TNT card in the PC, but I could go through a decoder.

Hello, happy new year!
Thank you for your response, it’s an interesting lead, the only thing that worries me is being able to get the decoder's signal on the PC through the HDMI port.
I tried connecting my decoder via HDMI to my PC, but I cannot retrieve the image or sound.
