Signal Sender and Receiver Unit?

caesar

Guys,

Need a bit of help on this. I'm not even sure if my thread title is appropriate and hopefully I have this in the right forum.

So, I’ve Just purchased a TV on behalf of my sister that she wants me to mount on a wall that is opposite the TV aerial socket. If you were to be standing looking directly at the wall where she wants me to put the TV, the socket would be just over your left should up in the top corner. In that corner, there is a furniture unit, which holds a small TV on one of its shelves. The furniture unit stands within 18 inches of the ceiling. Hopefully you can picture that.

Anyway, I was thinking, maybe I could get some type of device that could be plugged into the socket and that would sit on top of that furniture unit and send a signal to some sort of small receiver on the TV. The receiver hopefully being some small device that could be plugged into the TV. My question is, where can I get something like this and what is it that I'm looking for exactly?

The idea is (as you probably have guessed) to avoid running a cable across as it would have to go under the coving / ceiling mould and down the wall opposite. Doing it that way would be messy and end up ruining the room. Other than the potential solution that I have mentioned, I can't see too many other ways round it as the ceiling is a hollow core slab so I can't do an up, over and down job with a cable.

By the way, this is for sending across the regular UHF/VHF signal from the socket to the TV if that makes sense. The TV is Soarview approved.

I would appreciate any advice or help.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about a device that you plug an aerial into which then transmits to another device, but you could look at this:

Wireless Sender

You could plug the transmitter into the small tv on the cabinet and the receiver into the tv on the wall. But this would mean both tv's need to be on which isn't ideal.

Hopefully you get more helpful posts, but seeing as it's Christmas I thought I'd add my 2c... (to be honest, you might even browse that site and and a better solution in there! I didn't look too closely)

(PS not affiliated to tv-trade though have used them in the past and found them reliable)

That would amount to rebroadcasting the tv signal, so no go.

The video senders already mentioned take the analogue AV output from another device such as an STB & transmit at very low power on gHz frequencies.

The only solution for delivering the off-air tv signal to where you want it is a cable.

Video senders cause more problems than they solve. Be prepared to have wi-fi problems as every channels gets spammed with noise. Run a cable (or pay someone else to)

Run a cable.

Cheers for the advice. Will have to run a cable and probably chase the wall.

You can get fake skirting board for cables. Clip on cover.

Compton

5.8GHz video sender maybe?

Peter Rhea

Video from what?

Ya I saw those somewhere after a bit of goggling. I might try and see if any of the shops do them locally.

watty

Only Electrical Wholesale etc. Not Retail

If you really don't want to run wires you could use a Saorview Receiver with a wireless HDMI Sender.

I haven't tried this myself,but I cannot think of a reason why it wouldn't work.

A snip at 300 quid too!

Yeah, I saw that, after I posted.

The same approach would work with a standard wireless sender, for standard definition. All in all, cables appear to be the best option.
