Conversion of Coax to HDMI

Need some advice:

I have a coax cable that carries a signal from my Dishnetwork receiver to a small room. The TV ( a monitor really) in the small room only has HDMI inputs. How can I hook up the Coax cable to the TV with HDMI inputs ? I want to avoid getting another Disnetwork receiver. Is there a gizmo available that can convert a coax signal to HDMI ?

Thanks

Sorry, my last post was incorrect, it only handles the audio portion.

Here are 2 devices, one of them does what you want to do. They each cost $158:

Thank you for the responses. To clarify, my Dishnetwork receiver has two tuners with two remote (IR and UHF). I have hooked the receiver with an HDMI connection to a HDTV and the picture is fabulous. However, a secondary output is coax only and I have it sent to a spare room. I had a regular tv there to which the coax output from the tuner was hooked up. Using the UHF remote we could watch the Dishnetwork receiver in the spare bedroom. Well, my son took the tv to college and ended up with another monitor which has only HDMI input. Somehow, I need and inexpensive way to hook up the output from the Dishnetwork receiver into HDMI so that I can connect it to the TV. Hope all of this makes sense. Appreciate any advice.

Here's a wireless device that I'm told works well.
