Wireless Signals around my home.

Hi all, im new here.

I am not sure if this is the right place but the reason im doing this is due to the digital switch.

PROBLEM:

I only have one external aerial point in the living room of my flat and i cant run cables too my bedroom as its not my flat and i dont want wires on the floor.

I have spent £60+ on two different All in one digtal hd aerials to try and recieve a good signal for my DVB HDTV but none seem to work.

Is there anyway i can transmit the signal wirelessly from tghe external point.

I do have sky and i have seen the AV senders, but i live with a flat mate and if i go to bed and he changes channels then, "I predict a riot" lol.

Please can anyone help, multi-room from sky is not an option.

Re: Wireless Signals around my home.

I'm afraid you cannot transmit the signals received by an aerial 'wirelessly' to another point. AV senders will transmit the signal from a Sky box by way of the SCART output. The drawback is that you will be forced to watch whatever the main TV viewer is watching. A Infra red gadget will enable you to change the channel from your secondary location.

I cannot see why you can't use the outside aerial to feed a separate Freeview box, at source, and then use a AV wireless set-up to control this box from a distance. Reception from AV senders can be a bit 'iffy' due to circumstances and interferance. I would be interested to know if anyone has tried this. You would be receiving the programmes from the receiver end of at AV set-up and it would be connected to one of your Tvs AV inputs, not the aerial socket.

You've obviously tried some internal aerials, but are in a poor reception area so they are useless. So called 'HD aerials' only work in very favourable reception areas.
