In these days of wireless computers,printers etc., is there any chance of us getting wireless tv signals to reduce the amount of cables we currently use?.

    A television is a wireless receiver, thats what the aerial is for.

    Assuming you mean wireless peripherals, I guess they will come along in due course as part of home wireless networking.

    WiFi is becoming available in TVs already.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    argos used to do a system called rabbit that sent signals around the house

    but that was 20 years ago there is probably something better now

    an electrician on a building site told me he had some sort of infared system in his house

    do some research good luck karl...........
