Wi-Fi TV signal in house?

Right, I will set the scene. Main TV in downstair's lounge with internal Freeview, cable TV and my dear Analog set (old Sky) giving me 5 French Tv channels. Second TV is in daughter's room with direct connection to external TV aerial (5 channels) and third TV in loft room with no connection to external aerial.

I would like to watch my french programs in the TV situated in the loft. Is there a device out there that would do the trick? without having to go through miles of cables?

Thank you

    An AV sender, available for apporox £25 from Tesco or Argos would do the job. BUT... you would have to have the downstairs tv tuned to the French channels at the same time, ie you couldn't be watching the French channels in the loft while someone was watching a different channel downstairs.

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately I am no further forward. The idea behind watching french tv in another room is for when I get kicked out from downstairs room when the rest of the family want to watch non sense such as "strickly come dancing"....
    Question. The Satellite dish is connected to my analog box. and the analog box is connected to my TV via a scart lead. If I connect my analog box to the maplin unit via that same scrat lead, would I receive the signal in whichever room the receiver is placed?

    Does the analogue box have 2 scart outputs? I guess you could connect the AV sender to the box's second output if it has one.

    Spot on. If you look aroung most of these AV senders relay the Remotes IR signal too so you can change channel. :beer:
