My aunt has just got a TV for her kitchen and wonders if it is possible to buy something where she can view Freeview in the kitchen from her Freeview box in the living room as she does not have an aerial connection in the kitchen so buying a Freeview box would be useless.

We had a similar situation,ended up running another co-ax cable by piggy backing from the same aerial,about 50 yards.
You need a video sender.

There are lots of them available - like this one for instance :

Plug a wireless video sender into the Freeview box's Scart socket. (If it's only got one Scart socket it would be best to buy a splitter so that your aunt doesn't need to keep unplugging things). Plug the receiving unit into the kitchen TV's Scart socket (ensuring that the TV is set to display a signal from that Scart socket). Job done:

The following is for Virgin Media, but it's basically the same with a freeview box:

If she has just bought the TV it will have freeview already. She would just need an aerial.
