1. What’s the best way of watching recordings from my FVP-4000T in another room?
  
  @Philip Coles Not sure if you are aware already but on the subject of the Cat HDMI extenders, I should also have mentioned that you can get them with a loop out (so no extra splitter required, see HERE for example) and they can also simultaneously feed more than 1 remote TV if you run the cables...

2. What’s the best way of watching recordings from my FVP-4000T in another room?
  
  If you only need it in one other location then I would go for the HDMI over LAN option as its comparatively cheap these days (around £35, see HERE for example) for the extender and will give you good picture quality. I would use Cat 6 cable as a minimum.
