Hi,

I have cable but I want to use my tv in a totally different part of the
house and it would cost me a lot to run the cable there. Is there a
good wireless solution that would work over about 60 feet?

Thanks!

Aaron Fude!

Probably cost a hell of a lot more than running 60' of coaxial cable.....

Yes, it probably would. It would also be a lot less reliable.

A wireless video link would be one-channel only, so you'd need to have
some way of controlling the source, another point of decreased
reliability. You may even get a free dinner bell (microwave oven
interference, when picture returns food is ready).

The wireless media modems are not "one channel only"; instead, they use a
server to record the programming and the wireless modem with its' daily
updated "program guide" to allow selection of both live TV channels and
previously recorded channels. They are extremely versatile. I use 5 around
my house, and my wife watches one program, for example, I watch a second,
and it is also recording yet another all at the same time!

There are also cheap one way wireless links to send standard TV video with
stereo audio over short distances of, let's say, 50 or 75 feet, which are
single channel. I use to used the Leapfrog. a $79 device, to do this. It
also transmits in the 2.4 GHz band, same as the Linksys computer gear and
also microwave ovens and some cordless phones. It worked fairly well, but
not great.

Are you referring to a DVR that you can access and control over a
network?
