I had the same problem with distributing HD signal. I solved it with a HDMI splitter and a HDMI/IR-Ethernet-Tranceiver. So, the HDMI signal is splitted after the setop box. One HDMI cable goes to the BV10 in the main room. The other one goes to the HDMI/IR-Ethernet-Tranceiver. From this tranceiver, two CAT6 cables go to the second room where another tranceiver converts the signal back to the HDMI and then to the BV8.

This transceiver is able to send back the IR commands. So, I`m able to control the settop box from both rooms. There is a distance of about 30m between the TVs, but it is still possible to see HD.

There is only the limit, that I only distribute the signal of the settop box. The bluray is not included in this setup. Another problem is, you have to define, which TV controls ON/OFF of the settop box. If both can control the box and you would switch off one TV, then the box would switch off, even though the other TV is ON. I solved it in that way, that in the second room, you have to swich on/off the box manually with GO 0.

Here the product I`m using:

You have an "extra" in the main room, you can record AV signal from HDMI A or B without problems (In analog SD quality).I mean without copyright protection. In my case in HDR2.

Hi, this sounds interesting, however, be aware that the downscaler does not support 24fps playback, so forget about 1080p, 24fps on your mainroom tv. As i have ripped all my bluray movies, this is unfortunately not an option for my mac mini. B&O offers a HDMI matrix, but this only works with B&O linkroom tv´s with Beo5..:-( The downscaler should work for you however as long as you dont need 24 p.

I just bought the beovision 9, and my god, it is truly outstanding!! That combined with the new Beolab 9's make it very hard to compete with my Meridian system or any other sound system I would argue. 

 BUT I have problems and need the help of the community please:

a) I have an Virgin Media V+ box with an HDMI lead into the Beovision 9.  My Link TV's don't work now.  Someone tells me the feed needs to go via SCART, but if we are going Hidef, and I bought the tv for its hidef, why has B&O not provided for the fact the all will go HDMI and links should work using that connection?  Any ideas on how to make it work please as kids in the link rooms devasted no tv?

b) My new V+ virgin Media Box, made by scietific atlanta, cannot be controlled via my beo remote.  And ideas on how to please?

Truly appeciate the communities help.

The problem it's not bv9 it's the virgin box you have bought, get another box that leave HD on hdmi and SD on scart at the same time!

or a HDMI downscaler

I do also think it is a shame that it is not possible to distribute in at least digital SD (or HD) quality. I also had a HDMI splitter for my DVB-C box, but in the end I bought an extra box. The additional price for the box was not that much again compared to a quality HDMI splitter.

But I still watch content from my BM5, Tvix and Blueray via the RF cable on my link tv's though. But I can live with it, in the main room it is still FULL HD quality.
