TV broadcast


In my house we have one aerial point from which the signal is perfect.
Is there any device that can broadcast this to our other tvs, instead of having to put cables everywhere ?

I am sure I have seen such a thing advertised but I can not remember it's name or get anywhere using google.

I assume you are talking about the old-fashioned antenna (aerial) which receives signals thru the ether.....how quaint!!

Seriously, if you re-transmit the signal, it will compete with the primary signal and you will get ghosts. I would use cables. I believe there are systems to send the tv signal thru the house power wiring.

Will you eventually get cable TV? If so, that enhances the arguement for running the cables.
