I have Samsung 9 Series TV. Need to get HDMI signal from me PC on the first floor. The distance between TV and PC is 250 ft approx.
Also I have in-wall ethernet cable nearby the TV.
Found solutions for HDMI over CAT 6 from Atlona, and plan to buy:

transmitter:
https://www.hdwise.com/product.php?productid=2973&cat=0&page=1

and receiver:
https://www.hdwise.com/product.php?productid=2973&cat=0&page=1

This solution is also supports HDBaseT standart, means I wouldn't care about power, is it right?

And what's UR opinion of Atlona? Maybe it is better to choose another vendor?

Using the correct CAT cable and a compatible receiver, the HDTX-IR can send signals up to 230ft with the latest HDBaseT-Lite technology.
Better hope it's only 230 feet. What about power line networking?

Well I have power plugs in every room, but I don't like additional wires.
About 230 feet, I found some solutions for 330 feet, I found another solutions, for example - Gefen solution:

But the price i much higher.
Maybe I need to use some amplifier of repeater for CAT6?

What additional wires? You're not running wires along side the power lines, you're using the power lines.

I mean wires from power plug to extender device. As I understand right, extender use the same power through HDBaseT line.
So, this power feature is only additional enhancement for me, the main problem is HDMI signal distance :)

Intellon's PowerPacket technology, which serves as the basis for the HomePlug Powerline Alliance standard, uses an enhanced form of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) with forward error-correction, similar to the technology found in DSL modems. OFDM is a variation of the frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) used in phone-line networking. FDM puts computer data on separate frequencies from the voice signals being carried by the phone line, separating the extra signal space on a typical phone line into distinct data channels by splitting it into uniform chunks of bandwidth.

In the case of OFDM, the available range of frequencies on the electrical subsystem (4.3 MHz to 20.9 MHz) is split into 84 separate carriers. OFDM sends packets of data simultaneously along several of the carrier frequencies, allowing for increased speed and reliability. If noise or a surge in power usage disrupts one of the frequencies, the PowerPacket chip will sense it and switch that data to another carrier. This rate-adaptive design allows PowerPacket to maintain an Ethernet-class connection throughout the power-line network without losing any data.

The latest generation of PowerPacket technology is rated at 14 Mbps, which is faster than existing phone-line and wireless solutions. However, as broadband access and Internet-based content like streaming audio and video and voice-over-IP become more commonplace, speed requirements will continue to increase. Along these lines, Intellon's OFDM approach to power-line networking is highly scalable, eventually allowing the technology to surpass 100 Mbps.
This or a variation will do what you need to do and the distance will not be an issue.

Sorry, I just found that I posted wrong receiver link.
Here is the correct one:

So you mean transmitting signal over in-wall powerlines? I fond some solution at the same site:
https://www.hdwise.com/product.php?productid=614&cat=0&page=1

Ethernet over PLC, but first - in this case I need any HDMI-Ethernet adapter (2 pcs) and the second - I beware of poor quality of signal through the power lines.

Well, as I learned from other forums, it is better not to use HDBaseT technologie, because it is pretty raw. Well, I just choose from extenders without power transmitting.
