    Hello all, let's say a friend of mine has a 40" Philips LED TV[^]. Some data: The TV is: * a Full HD 100Hz TV. * placed far from the antenna plug. * a NET TV which means that can be plugged to a router through an ethernet cable. * a NET TV that could have plugged a WIFI adapter to connect to the internet or computers, but my friend doesn't want to buy that adapter. There are two options to conenct the TV to the antenna: putting a cable through the room and covering the cable with some metal part that would make it look less horrible or using some wireless device. The question: I'd like to know if there is any device out there that would allow me to get the normal TV signal, cable signal and ethernet through wireless? (sender/receiver). the underlined items seems to be the more important ones as the cable signal is something my friend is not sure that it is there... :~ Anyone has experience with any device like that? Thank you! :thumbsup:

      Yes, there is, and yes I have. Just use one of the several hundred video senders that are on the market.

        I prefer the "cable mounted at the wall" solution. Even if it's more work, it's kind of the simplest and best solution.

        regards Torsten I never finish anyth...

          Just don't use them within 100m of a microwave oven. Or have they fixed that now?

            You could always rearrange the room.

              Yes, use one of the 5.8 GHz ones, no interference from microwaves or wireless routers. Just a lot more directional to set up the antenna.s

                That is what he should do... or using a cable, but using some kind of wi-fi video sender... he asked me for that, I have never seen anyone, but I don't trust it too much... I told him to put the TV just on top of the sofa, but he did not liked the idea... :rolleyes:
