I want to watch TV in another room!
I hope this thread applys to this forum. It's about TV!
I just bought a TV/VCR combo for my bedroom. The problem I have is that there is no cable TV jack in there. I don't want to pay to get a drop there either.
Anybody know of any solutions to broadcast that signal in there? I think I've heard of some kind of wireless device, or perhaps something that works with the electrical outlets?

There are video senders that will transmit wireless but I don't know of anything that will trasmit a cable signal wierless. Why don't you just run cable yourself to the bedroom?

there used to be something called the "Rabbit" I think that was wireless
other options, if there are heating/ac ducts, run the cable down one of those
this mentions teh tv rabbit, but isn't really related

Thanks for the suggestions. At this point, I'm going to call Comcast to see how much it will cost to install a drop in the bedroom. I don't really know how I'd do it myself, as I live in an apartment with no apparent cable routes. I'll let a professional pull it thru the ceiling/walls, whatever. I thought I remember Comcast saying it could be done for $25 or so? That's not so bad...

apartment?
make sure the landlord is ok with them putting in a new outlet
I just ran coax along the wall, and covered it with a small rug where it crossed the hall from the living room into my bedroom
being a college student in an apartment I don't care if a little coax is visible
