TV Antenna Connection

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

My daughters TV is in the opposite side of room from the roof aerial signal coaxial socket. For good reasons she does not want to have a coaxial cable running between the socket and the TV. Is there any way of making the antenna connection wirelessly?

Sounds like you need a decoding box/transmitter near the socket and then transmit to the TV? I don't know if something like that exists.

They exist, but I don't believe they're very good or as cheap as you'd expect. Search for a "wireless tv sender".

May just be that the simple and obvious answer is the best as well as the cheapest.

If it is on the ground floor run the cable outside of the house.

Is it a smart TV ?
If not get a Chromecast or firestick and use the individual apps for terrestrial channels via WiFi.

When I started reading this I had to check the date in case someone had resurrected a 15 year old thread!

Surely a firestick is the answer?

I recently got one (for nefarious reasons) and have found it really first class.

She has a firestick and it’s a Smart TV, she was just hoping to have Freeview (as it’s a Sony it has YouView) as well…but isn‘t bothered if she can’t.

If she's got a Firestick, then she should be able to get Freeview through it. I gather it doesn't come loaded as standard on the Firestick- but is easily downloaded on to it

Ah…now that would be a good thing

Firestick is a really good shout. It will likely need to be 'cracked' first, but this is very easy to do, plenty of instructions online.

Yup…

Just had a look a how she’d do it..getting Downloader first…though not sure whether she has to activate Developer mode first…one set of instructions suggested she would, the other I looked at not so. But I’ve only had a very quick look.

Yes I think she would need to select Developer Options and turn on Apps from unknown sources, this allows the side loading of apps.
