Wireless TV?
MikeCapon - 12/2/11 at 08:34 PM

Yet another wildy off topic question from the ageing technophobe

An even older aunt has asked me to help her fix her TV problem. She has cable TV which arrives in the hallway of her rented flat. There are no hard wired extensions to anywhere else. She has two TVs (Rich aunt) and she has asked me if it's possible to send the cable signal to the TVs without wires

So, what is the best way to do this? Is there a way of using the cable remote to choose/change channels etc? What is the loss of quality like (if any)?

As you can see I'm not really up to speed with all this stuff so answers in stupid speak please.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Thanks austin man,

Any more ideas anyone?

I've got a cheap one Mike (Trust) and it's crappity. Audio is distorted and video interferes with other 2.4Ghz (Wifi, baby monitors, cordless phones....) devices.

I'd buy a half decent one - pity it's not Sky as you could have used "Sky-Eye" transmitting audio/video and remote control down a standard co-ax lead.

I bought a similar item in tesco's super store that was also infra red remote control friendly, and that was CRAP
so it went back

We use "digi senders" spot on wifi does not affect it, sends a perfect signal all around the house.
