Wireless acces to TV connection?

[Church of Noise]

Since I'm not allowed to drill holes in the walls/ceilings, I'd like to find out if there are devices that wirelessly transmit the 'information' on the TV cable?
The intention is to put a TV in another room.

Yes. Can't remember the make, but we used to have a pair of radio tranceivers that sent the TV picture across the house - also had an IR tranceivers that sent the remote control signal back the other way.

We have the Philips SBC VL1200 which works a treat. Scart in to the sender, scart out from the receiver - we use it to drive a TV in the bedroom from the sky box downstairs and it even transmits the remote signal back down so you can change sky channels etc remotely.

Cost us about £70 or £80, I think, three or so years ago.

Is it for cable or satellite, not all tv senders work with cable have a look on the forums..

Looks good indeed!
Does it allow to watch different channels on the different TVs? (the sales mumbojumbo on the Philips website wasn't exactly very clear about that)

This is what I was after a while back.

I wanted Freeview in the spare room, but didnt want to drill holes in the wall. So I went and got the best portable digital antenna I could, and the picture was crap!

I wanted a wireless connection from downstairs to the spare room, I gave up in the end.

If you are thinking of satellite or cable, then no. You can change the channel on the digibox remotely through the wireless link but it will change the channel for all tvs - you'll need another digibox (and possibly subscription top-up for that). Sky Multiroom charge you £90 for a box and £10 a month for this priviledge.

I haven't got digital TV (and thus no digibox) at my place, I'd just want to watch ordinary cable TV with this device, would that be possible?

All this system does is relay whatever signal is going into the source box on to the destination box, wirelessly. That input signal could be cable, satellite, DVD, xbox, whatever, but it only has a single scart input. Not sure if that helps you or not.
