Possible to connect to HR44-500 receiver without cables?

I have a smart TV in a room quite far from the room where I have my receiver set up and I'm wondering if there is a way to connect this TV to the receiver without dragging a cable through the hallway.

You'll need an HDMI connection between the HR44 and your HDTV. You can buy a wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver, but they can be expensive and have a limited range.

Box connects to TV by HDMI. Their are 3rd party wireless transmitter/receiver options, but range and expense are concerns. At the very least it must support HDCP 2.2 in order to not get error messages about content protection.

Alternatively you call DirecTV and request a receiver relocate so they install the coax in that room for the box to be at the TV as intended.
