Extend Cable TV wirelessly

[BuddaDude]

Apologize up front for my lack of techno geek definitions, but will try to explain the best I can. I just moved in to a new house with a cable connection (coax) in the living room. I can take a coax cable from the outlet and connect it directly to a LED flat screen TV and it works fine... My wife wants the TV placed on the other side of the room. There is no way to run a coax cable across the room. There has to be something that will send the signal wirelessly across the room. When I look on the internet, it appears possible with RCA or HDMI connectors, I saw one device that uses coax cable as input to the transmitter from AITech (under Wireless Cable TV) but it doesn't support HD.

There has to be other options take a coax connection and move it wirelessly across a room and retain HD quality.

Appreciate any and all thoughts/input.

This might help if you want HDMI wireless: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-wireless-hdmi-video-transmitter/

So, what kind of signal comes out of that coax cable? A coax cable can pass many types of signals.

A cable TV signal? Are you saying you can plug a cable TV signal directly into your TV and select cable channels on your TV set directly, without a cable box?

Is it a lead in from an antenna on the roof? What?

Wireless hdmi is not bad way to go, but with anything wireless ymmv. Walls, electrical appliances, etc could affect it.
Luckily amazon return policy is pretty liberal. Good luck

Markw, the coax cable is from the local cable company.. It has a spliter. One side goes to an Internet modem and the other directly in to the TV. There is no cable box.

Afterlife2, I don't have an HDMI output to send with the transmitter... I have the end of a coax cable with a local cable signal.

Thanks.

I can't think of any wireless extender for a raw cable TV feed.

Dear op. You're out of luck. This can't be done

Bummer! Seems like this could be a market worth looking at. I guess that explains why I couldn't find anything... Thanks for verifying.

If your new house is one-story with an accessible attic, it’s not hard to drop a new cable for the location you want. You can find a how-to article on the topic in my signature.

It's a 2-story townhouse... Living room is on the first floor.

Depending on your provider, they may have wireless cable boxes...I use directv and also use they're wireless boxes...pretty trick.
