    You can use a wireless TV transmitter for just TV sharing.

    You can use a HDD with a wii, and using software or something to then play from the hdd. Never gone down that route (although I do have a hdd plugged into my Wii with my games pre-loaded; Lazy is as Lazy does and Lazy now doesn't have to get up to change the disc once I've played a couple of guitar songs and wants to do rock band)
  • I use a Rf sender for my sky but I have no idea if it can be used with the Wii etc look like I have a challenge for the bloke tomorrow!
    well today was a complete waste of make up :eek:

    Video sender or rf sender will transmit any audio or video signal (talk about analogue). Will even send the wii signal, controlling the wii is a different matter (would have to start the film, run to other room to watch and go back after to change it)
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
  • Televes video senders work very well
    Hth
    Get Appletv2 & XBMC in and thank me later :beer:

  • Ive just bought a one for all sender to do this kind of things after 3 hours trying to set it up,gave up on it.

    However what you need is a wireless sender/receiver maplins amazon argos currys dixons etc all have them.
