Send a TV signal without wires?
Discussion
My girlfriends flat is tiny, and has no external aerial. it's rented and she won't be there for long, so i'm not about to change that.
We bought a really powerful internal aerial in the hope that we would be able to get freeview, rather than just channels 1-4, but it doesn't work in the living room.
However, take the TV and aerial in to the bedroom and we get all channels perfectly, as well as a full complement of freeview channels.
Good, but i don't want to do all our TV watching in the bedroom.
So, other than running coaxial cable through the house, are there any gadgets out there that can "send" that signal from the bedroom to the living room?

expensive option, but very good (so I am told): http://www.slingmedia.com/
You would need a Slingbox, a SlingCatcher (or multimedia PC), and a wireless router. Don't necessarily need internet, as long as the Sling Catcher and the Slingbox can talk to each other.

already have a wireless router, and that looks like it could be fun for other things.. but i think a sub£50 solution would be better!You would need a Slingbox, a SlingCatcher (or multimedia PC), and a wireless router.

Have a look at Maplin .. they were advertising a scart wireless cable the other week.
Two scart dongles, one for the TV one for the digi box?

I've had the £69 Digisender fro about 3-4 years now... very good for the job described.
