Help with Moving TV

I'm looking for some help here, the wife want's to rearrange the furniture around in the living room (I know don't go there) anyway I need to move the TV and set top box to the over side of the room and their no Ariel or satellite cables there. I know they do AV senders but all I seen are the ones that plug in to the set top box or DVD player which I don't need, is their anything out there where the Ariel cable or satellite cables can plug into a box then send the signal wirelessly to the TV or set top box. The other way is run the cables under floor which I don't want to do, it's all laminate flooring.

Can't beat hard wiring. Can't you clip it to the skirting board for now? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Can't run the cables around room, one way theirs a chimney with a woodburner in the way and the other way it's to much work with a bay window a door and French doors in the way plus the cables are a bit thick which will look unsightly. I just hoping there was something out there wirelessly just to save all the work.

Out the wall, in trunking (I used grey half in pipe) outside back in again were you need it

That's what I did with some speaker cables Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

A few good options above to consider hinchy
Like Steve D says you cant beat hard wiring but if that isn't a option have you looked in to a Magic eye set up Question

Had the same dilemma a few years back, but I was lucky and decorating at the time, so I run all my cables for my box through my coving from one side of the room to the other and the same with the rear speakers

TV used to sit here in the corner So chased the wall out to run the cables up, fed all the cables through the coving to the other side of the room where I built the TV wall

Thanks for the replies, I think I've only 2 options and both are hard wired. The rooms were all skimmed not so long a go, so I don't want to start cutting in to new plaster. 1) is to go under the floor which means lifting the laminate in hallway that where the access is or 2nd option is take all the cables that run at the front of the house and take them around the back of the house and come through the dining room using D-line trunking. PS nice room Slaneydore

I moved the TV etc. in our previous house. Simplest way was to get TV aerial man to come and re-route aerial cable from outside the house into the corner we were moving to. Same for satellite cable. 2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

Friend of mine's (yes do have some) son used to work for a very high end audio retailer in London. We are talking 20k plus systems, and if faced with routing speaker cables across rooms with boarded floors they would use a router to cut a slot to required position and back fill it with some kind of wood filler (sorry do not know make) and re polish the floor.

That may come to mind Tea Gardens when I'm crawing under the floor as that's way I'm going to do it.

Hinchy, this might be of help to you:

http://store.virginmedia.com/discover/broa...rline.html

Don't know if I'm allowed to post this but you get the idea. Not tried them myself but apparently they are very good and widely available on line to buy and places like Maplins.

Anyone else tried them on here? Ive just changed from Sky to Virgin and got 2 Tivo boxes so will be installing the second upstairs - without wires Shocked hopefully..... MY2010 TD4 HSE Santorini Black, 19" Alloys, Almond Leather, Lux Pack, Rear Spoiler, Adaptive Xenons
