Wireless tv networking at home?

[Navy Chief]

My wife wants a tv put in our spare bedroom. Running a cable from our satellite receiver through the attic, and attempting to "fish" it through the wall in that bedroom would be almost impossible.

But is there a way to transmit the signal through a wireless network?

We have Dish. Really don't want to pay the bast...s for another tv on my account.

Thanks

Apple TV probably does this.

Its a 'next step up' from the Media Center system.

Apple is revolutionary in its new 'wireless technologies'.

Please check into that though. What it probably does is use a cable in, going to a modem/splitter box, which transmits wireless through the house.

I could be wrong. It also may not work with Dish systems.

you can also use Slingbox, but the price you pay for the setup is more than that second account

I've been using slingbox for several years now. It allows you to watch your home TV from anywhere in the world w/ an internet connection. Since i travel so much, this was the perfect thing. I can just load up slingbox on a wireless laptop, and watch my Tivo or live TV sitting in the US; even if i'm in a hotel in Paris or Beijing...it's pretty cool.

Thanks! I decided to go with the Slingbox Solo. Good price at Amazon, and it will work with my Dish receiver.

Coincidentally, I found out (from some further reseach) that DISH Network bought out Sling Media....makers of Sling Box.
