Hi folks,
I use DVB-T in my flat in London which I receive well through a standard TV aerial wall socket in the living room. However, I get no reception whatsoever in the bedroom, which is miles away from the living room!

Now, the question is, whether I need to put a massive 20m cable from the socket in the living room (after splitting the plug) to the bedroom (as the person who built/renovated the flat obviously didn't plan for this and didn't put a cable into the wall!) or whether it's possible to transfer the signal differently somehow to the bedroom? Is there some sort of wireless bridge available or something? I was gonna have a very simple set top box in the bedroom for the bare essentials of TV watching...

Quick fixes appreciated Thank's in advance!

The only wireless solution you could get would be something which sent the video/audio/ir from your living room to your bedroom. this would mean watching the same thing in both rooms. the problem with these systems is that they are prone to interference, we've had one for the last 2 years and I rarely get a full 24 hours without having to fiddle with it or put up with awful sound/picture. if someone uses a microwave within range you can forget watching TV til they've finished as well.

if there's any way you can run a cable do it, if not then a wireless sender will work but not perfectly.

Not really an alternative but if you send me your address details via PM I can send you 20m of aerial cable (unterminated) - a previous house owner / installer left a drum in my loft. You'll just need to pay the postage and packaging.
