I'm wanting to set up a media cabinet where I can have all sources sit (cable box, game systems, Apple TV, etc..) and those can be pulled up on all televisions throughout the house or they could all be on a different source. I do not have any smart televisions. Is this possible and if so, is there any wireless hdmi options or am I going to have to run 50 feet of hdmi from the bottom floor to the top? Thanks in advance !
View all sources on all televisions

so far those things you can do by raspberry pi with router
there is many softwares which use dvbt one popular is videolan player which
can grab any source

of course you need linux
and then send signal by router
and some video card gabber for get all of those signals
video grabber (hdmi etc..)
for pc tv card or tuner :
something which get signals then you can send them
other way are just wires
and wifi access point

Stuff that can go on the LAN can be viewed throughout the house.
But let say you have a BlueRay Disc player in the living room, you want to play that in the bedroom, so you want that person to run over the living room, insert the disc, and back to the bedroom?

To do that you are going to need a matrix HDMI switcher with the correct number of inputs and outputs.
You can run CAT6 instead of HDMI cables. Some switcher have CAT6 outs and you use a CAT6 to HDMI adapter at each TV. The CAT6 also carries the IR signal to switch and control the sources. Usually there would be a universal remote at each TV that has been programmed to operate all the gear.
Not cheap so you have to balance that out with the savings of using fewer cable boxes and separate BD players. Going wireless is even more expensive since you need to send a separate signal to each TV.
Not sure if you can control the game systems at that distance.
