For ten feet, I'd find a way to run an HDMI cable through the wall.

You'll need a stud-finder. Get some HDMI wall plates and two single gang low-voltage mounting brackets from Home Depot, and get an HDMI cable much longer than you need. You can either plumb it through the wall studs (harder, requires more holes in the wall), or you can modify your baseboards to have a notch in them that'll hide the HDMI cable and run it along the floor more or less, only plumbing it through the wall when you've reached the area that the wall plates will be installed.

EDIT: You can do this so long as your TV and receiver support HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel). Your TV should have (ARC) after one of the HDMI port labels, same with your receiver (not all of them are labeled so look in your owner's manual or online). If either one does not, then you'll need to use an optical audio cable or whatever your TV and receiver will both support. HDMI ARC is so commonplace now, but worth looking into if your equipment is a little older.
That's awesome advice thanks. I think it will end up being a cable but looking at all options. Is one option to do chromecast on HDMI in on reciever. Then wireless HDMI on the out to the TV.
