That technology never took off...

When you try to transmit video + audio data wirelessly, especially through walls/wood/concrete, there is data loss.

The latency will be high as well.

You'll have frames missing, audio packets missing, video + audio can go in and out sync...

 

Your best bet would be to stream it over WiFi or something...similar to a Google Chromecast.

 

Linus did some "wireless HDMI" testing before....

If you have no use for the £1000 laptop I'd sell it and buy a £200 old-ish PC that'll be sufficient as media player. A half decent wireless solution wouldn't really be cheaper and would be a lot more finicky.

Can get some of these hp/lenovo tiny SFFs for about that price.
