I've bought lots of stuff from www.wirednz.co.nz. They have all the different baluns available and seem to be price competitive. I'm using HDMI direct to the main screen and just composite via av baluns over cat5e to the rest of the house. Works sweet!

Oh the joys of HDCP!
The hdmi baluns with dual ethernet cables worked a treat on both MySkyHDi and my HTPC (via an hdmi 4x2 switch) but when I flipped over to the Blu-Ray player......nothing.  I could see it trying but with no success.
It seemed there was just enough noise introduced to upset the handshake between the TV and the Blu-Ray player.
The way the price of players is dropping I may just give up on the cabling network, bide my time, and buy dedicated players for each display.
However to address the original thread, it works great with MySkyHDi.
