I don't want to bore holes in my house to put a cable TV outlet into another room. Does anyone know of a low power transmitter/receiver combination which will run on house power, which will function as a "wireless cable" and for which I don't need some sort of license? I have no desire to change or process the cable tv signal; all I want is to send the existing raw signal from the cable input through one wall to the next room and thence to the input side of the cable box. The only devices I've seen for sale are made to transmit between the cable box and the television, and are therefore worthless for my purpose. Please email me and/or post here. Thanks.

May be best to actually contact the Cable Supplier in your specific area and ask the specifically. Talk to one of the engineers if possible, or obvious reasons. They should be capable of indicating if indeed what you are proposing is cost effective and an operational option. <

I know it's not exactly what you want but...
There are lots of products around that will transmit composite video (eg leave the cable TV box where it is and just move the TV). They also send the IR handset commands back the other way so you can control the cable TV box from the remote location.

You do that and you will have the cable TV technicians all over you like flies on dog doo-doo. They go around looking for cable 'leaks', and your "raw signal" would look like one HUGE leak!
We don't do things here like you do in the lower forty-eight. People have lives to live. We don't go around sniffing other people's shorts just for fun. That's for dogs and politicians, not for Alaskans. Someone asks, I'll tell them what I'm doing because there's nothing wrong about it.

I don't believe there is an easy answer. If the cable transported only a few channels, you could run the signal into a mixer (multiplier) and transmit it to a receiver where you would block convert the signal back to the original frequencies. With 50 or more channels, you would need to use a *much* higher frequency and much more RF power in order to maintain a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio.

Thanks for being civil, Don.
