Hello,

Just bought a TV for the kid's play room as they're getting an XBOX 1 for Christmas. Wouldn't mind utilising it for TV watching as well but the tv ariel socket in the room is in the opposite corner from where the TV/Console will be fitted.

Not much flexibility on where the TV goes as they have air hockey and various other large items in there. Is there a device that can 'rebroadcast' the TV signal across the room so that I don't need to have a wire going around door frames etc?

The wire will cost you a few pounds to run along skirting boards/under carpets etc, any device to transmit will cost lots more and you'll likely not have as good quality in my experience.

better off using the Xbox with iPlayer or Sky Go etc for 'TV' viewing ?

Ariel make the Atom (and the Ace) but most TVs require an aerial. You can get the Atom on the Xbox.
