Wireless TV - Telewest

Hello

We have Telewest Telephone and Broadband. I have arranged for their engineer to call on Friday to install a TV box for the free channels however I wonder if I can get some advice?

We live in a flat and our current services come via the bedroom, just under the window. In order to take a wire from there to the TV (in the living room), he would need to tack wire around two walls in the bedroom, around the kitchen door, and arround two walls in the living room. This would be very noticable and probably not acceptable. Hopefully there is a box out side our living room somewhere he could use.

I know you can have TV wirelessly to your PSP now via a small device that connects to your TV network. Is a similar thing available for a Telewest TV box?

Thanks

    no idea about wireless television, but our telewest service comes in through the dining room and to get to the living room they drilled through the wall rather than taking it all round the walls. I would imagine they would do something similar in your case.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
