What is the final idea - to watch media from Sony on the TV, with sound going back to Sony, or just sound back to Sony?
THere are nice-looking nearly flat HDMI cables, and if 4K is not on the horizon, this might work for you.
A HDMI cable is not a solution for my installation. Some method of transmitting/receiving audio/video between the Sony and TCL ROKU tv is my idea. TV is wifi capable but the SONY is not.
I have read about HDMI to wifi and wifi to HDMI so a "device" that would attach to the HDMI ARC port on the tv and another to attach to the SONY HDMI port might work for me.
My TCL ROKU tv is connected to my router via LAN 5E cable and wifi. I can use Air Play between my Iphone and TV, print between Iphone and wireless printer, display photos from laptop on ROKU tv. . . . .
Not able to reach tv speakers from SONY or reach whole house speakers from the ROKU tv. The older SONY does not have wifi capability and I cannot/will not run cable about the room.
My oversight for not running HDMI cables inside the walls during renovation!!!
Do you know of any reliable HDMI to wifi dongles that might solve this issue? Distance between SONY and ROKU tv is about 15 feet with no walls between.
btw; My TCL ROKU tv is 4k.
