I have little experience of video senders, but this would appear to do the job for you . Beware that this uses the same frequency 2.4 ghz as many bb routers so you may get interference to one or both.
Just read through the spec in full and it "This item may not fully function with certain Sky+, Sky HD or Virgin Media set-top boxes. says"
