    Can't find the correct forum to be posting this on, but this is close!

    I got a big new tv, it's off in a corner of the house that has no aerial cables, I need to recieve 1,2,3 and 4 on this telly, but don't want to route all the cables.

    Can I get a video sender of similar that willl allow me to watch them, from what I've seen in the shops my only option so far is to buy an AV sender that works off SCART leads. This would mean having to hook it up to a Video Recorder somewhere else in the house and using its tuner to change channels (ok because AV sender also sents remote control's signal back to VCR)

    Is there any other ideas out there, interior amplified aerial won't do the trick by the way

    TBH, it would be easier and cheaper to get a bit of RF to the outher aerial point, or buy a decent aerial for on top of the TV you've got.

    From what I've found, the A/V or RF senders are rubbish, unless you spend big money.

    cabling isn't an option.

    You can get A/V Senders that will send a Composite signal, however you need to convert the RF to Composite, and if you did that, you'd only be able to watch one channel IE the one that you've selected on the device that's converting the RF to Composite.

    Do a search for A/V Sender.

    ok, went down to Argos and bought a cheap Video Recorder (€54) and an Audio/Video sender. The Video recorder is connected to the AV sender with a SCART lead, and the AV reciever is connected to my TV with another SCART.

    The AV sender I got allows you to use the VCR's remote control and control all its functions even though it's at the other end of the house.

    The VCR has its own tuner so I've stored the channels on the VCRs presets. now to change channels I use the VCR remote control. Next step is to set my TV's remote control up to work the VCR......

    Reception is perfect too! only problem is the microwave interferes with the reception!
