Monster is closing in on the Holy Grail of HDTV, wireless distribution.  And while their new distribution product isn’t wireless, it does allow you to stream HD throughout the house without running new wires, assuming your home is already wired for cable TV.  The Wireless Digital Express HD from Monster, introduced at CES, consists of a transmitter and receiver that connect and transfer 1080p signals across the existing coax cable in the wall. 

Based on the idea of powerline distribution of data, the transmissions can travel 330 ft from any HD source.  Inputs consist of two HDMI ports, two component, one composite video/S-video with audio, optical digital and coax digital.  Outputs are coax digital, optical digital F-connector for coax, and three IR emitters.  There is even a wireless solution for that wall mounted HDTV.  The RX-1 receiver integrates into any Monster wall mount, continuing their theme of “no new wires.”  No word yet on a release date, but look for it in the next few months.  The price?  $999 for the whole set.
