    I would seriously look into getting an HDMI Extender over Cat5/6, far superior to the rf senders etc

    Triax tri-link kit works exactly same as sly eye, over coax.

    Coax is horrible in comparison to HDMI/Cat5

    True, but I'm assuming he's come from a sky set up and looking for an easy fix, rather than wiring in cat5 cable.

    What receiver you have? Not many have RF outputs. You may have to use an RF modulator.

    If you have a Samsung smart TV, this might be of interest to you.

    You can use a phone app like enigma2 etc to change channels using the HDMI Extender over Cat5 method. Picture quality is excellent, far better than any crappy magic eye type sender.
