Wireless Transmission of RF?

[jaycmoore]

Maybe a bit of a daft question, so apologies if so... but...

My TV sits in one corner of the front room, where I relocated the sky input a couple of years back. We watch all our TV through Sky as the local standard signal for terrestrial ITV et al had a bit of ghosting. However, I've now got a new TV, so I'd like to connect the standard RF input from the TV socket to the new TV as it has inbuilt freeview and we do receive digital in our area.

Problem is I don't really want to have to lift the carpet and run coax to the TV. Is there any way this can be achieved wirelessly? Most av senders seem to be scart input and output only.

Am I wasting my time? Should I just bite the bullet and get 4m of coax and run it hardwired?

Thanks.

Yes to both.
This question pops up all the time on here.
You cannot wirelessly transmit a signal from an aerial...well you can but not legally...that's called "Broadcasting" and only the BBC and others of their ilk are allowed to do that.

Ha. Makes sense.

Well, bought 6m of coax and two connectors today, so just need to wire it up and then put it just behind the gripper down one edge of the room.

Thanks for your advice. I wouldn't want to do anything illegal... obviously...
