I have my HTPC set up and running and everything is going well. The only thing I still need to sort out is how to distribute the video around the house. At the moment I use a simple 2.4Ghz video sender to send PAL content from a DVR and a DVD player but I'd ideally like to send the HTPC signal in the same way.

The graphics card I use has two video outputs but I'm not aware of a way to convert a digital signal down to PAL for distribution through the video sender, neither am I aware of a way to send 1080p wirelessly.

If I bought another graphics card with on board composite video out, would I be able to use this at the same time as the main graphics card sending 1080p to the main TV?

If not, is there any way to do what I want?

There are several methods including converting and sending through Cat5 cable. All are expensive.
Here's a few links:
