Wireless aerial extender?

Can anyone help please?

We live in a relatively weak signal strength area although our main rooftop
aerial delivers a good signal. However, reception on the small aerial of our
portable TV is poor.

I would like to be able to use the portable TV in a number of rooms without
having to recable the house. Does anyone know of a wireless gizmo (or
something else?) that would enable me to overcome this problem relatively
cheaply?

Thanks

Not a surprise...

I think you have little choice but to lay some more cable.

If you want to use the portable TV instead of the main TV then a video
sender unit would do the trick, http://tinyurl.com/yzdcwk the
digisender X2 is the one I use.

If you want to use the main TV on a different channel at the same time
then it becomes more awkward.

Thanks. Useful gadget, but presumably this means you have to leave the STB
on all the time, and all TVs have to be watching the same channel?

Is there a corresponding gizmo for analogue UHF signals perhaps?

I guess you should be able to set it to standby using the remote, but yes
you only get one channel per box.

You mean so you would just bost the arial and retrnsmit. Thats not so easy.
If you want to re-transmit on the same frequencies you tend to get feed
back. If you use different frequencies then you need 5 tuners and youalso
need to find 5 (or 6 where I am) free channels that would not interference
with neighbours. This is not so easy. Also remember analoge will be closing
sooner or later, depending on where you live...
