Wireless TV Aerial

[Caladon]

Is there a device that I can plug in to the main Aerial socket in our sitting room which will send the tv signal to a receiver plugged in to the back of the televisions in 2 bedrooms without needing coaxial?

Thanks,Cal

Nope

Perhaps you should be googling for video senders .

MInd, the cheaper ones only do one channell at the time.

I'm sure I've posted here before asking about the same idea.

There isn't solutions but I'm sure if someone found a way it would be an ideal one for dragons den.

What with the digital switchover there must be some way of having tvs in bedrooms picking up enough signal for freeview.

I've even thought about having an aerial at two ends of coax so that one is the Outdoor aerila and the loop or indoor aerial of the bedroom tv picks it up in theory from the aerial in the room.

To use a video sender, you need a TV at the aerial point, which is not what the OP requested.

Technically you don't need a TV at the ariel point for a video sender, just a Freeview box / Sky box whatever but this will only wirelessly send the picture for the channel that the box is currently displaying. Some senders will also transmit the IR signal from the box handeld remote to allow change of channel from the room with the TV.

But rojash is correct, there is no box that will "forward" the wall point to somewhere else in the house. To do this you would need to receive, encode, re-broadcast, decode, and retransmit the whole radio spectrum from 474 to 850 MHz which would cost a ridiculous amount of money even if it were legal which it isn't.

Thanks guys... helps a lot.

If I have this right... I could have 2 free view boxes at the 'aerial in' point with 2 "video senders" sending the stream to a receiver on the back of each tv. The receiver's remote would operate the freeview channels from seperate rooms.

This sound right so far?

I don't think that freeview boxes output their signal through the aerial or RF lead, it's usually done through scart sockets and cables. although you could connect a freeview box to an old video recorder (with RF out on it) through the scart socket.

[ll_billym]

Yes Caladon, as I understand it what you've said is correct. The freeview box will output on SCART, the AV sender will send that picture/sound to a receiver that will output the same picture/sound on it's SCART to plug into the television.

The only issue might be interference between two wireless senders in the same house.

Apparently a 5.8GHz sender should be used rather than a 2.4GHz sender to stop interference from wireless internet and microwave ovens.
