You could try an upmarket video sender unit on 2.4 Ghz and put the SPDIF
if you have that output on Co-ax on the DVD, and a SPDIF input on the
"receiving" end and use the "video" channel on the 2.4 Ghz link. I've
used this over longer distances and it works very well. In fact I've
used it up to 3 miles! On a line-of-sight basis for a temporary link.

Course the aerials were largish parabola's. You might find some break-up
if you get multipath reflections from time to time but it does work
surprisingly well. In fact the SPDIF signal isn't that far removed from
Video in level and amplitude.

supplies some of these units that are better than those found in the
shops, and his gear will work on 2.4 G exempt channels...

I have not tried this unit but the generally available 2.4GHz
transmitter/receiver pairs in the US do severely compromise quality,
even if used as you suggest. If these are, indeed, superior, that's
good to know.
