Wireless TV transmitters

Main TV in living room (42" Plasma:cool ha great picture being connected to main aerial.

TV in kitchen is crap at best bing connected to rather poor indoor aerial (probs a good aerial but i live in bad reception area). Could i get a good picture on kitchen TV by using a TV transmitter?

I used one for a bit - it depends on how thick your walls are. I refund them all the time at work becasue they're generaly crap! My one was going through the ceiling and it had loads of interfance. Run a cable if possible.

hth.

You do appreciate that your main set would have to be on and tuned to the channel you want to watch in the kitchen ?

As said ^^^ everything depends on the obstructions between the send and receive units - I've had good results over 1/4 mile in open space but poor results room to room if say a radiator's in the way.

Much better and cheaper to split the feed from your main aerial

You often also find that microwaves make them go crazy (!) so the kitchen may be a problem if you're always binging things...

Depending on what channel it uses it can also wipe out any wireless internet you have at home.
