Big Box locally doesn't have the length. This *would* be a weekend so that online ordering delivery is a dead end till the work week.

Big Box says they have a wireless "TV Anywhere" thing.

A home theater place said they can make custom lengths of cable, but then said the 3-plug deal won't work, and went into complicated splitters and hdmi and installation into the hundreds of bucks, also said the wireless deal doesn't last long. Oh, and they want me to take pictures of the three gadgets.
