Wireless TV antenna connections

I have a good quality OTA setup on the second floor of my house and would like to get that signal downstairs to another tv.
The catch is I would like to do it without running any antenna cables. Are there any wireless options available?

  • OP, The issue with my setup is that I dont have a home network, all my internet access is via a cell phone hotspot.

    That's the one downside to my "network" even though I have a grandfathered Verizon unlimited the hotspot isn't always activated.

    There are several ways.. Some re-broadcast in the TV band and you simply pick it up downstairs.

    I have a pair of DVR's with additional stuff.. Now you can not do LIVE TV this way but.....

    One can record then over the lan (Which can be wired or wireless) send to the other. or it can be streamed to a computer. or downloaded to a computer. or..

    Well you ever see those ads "only our overpriced very expensive Cable or Satellit service lets you do all these things".. (Paraphrased a bit).. NOT TRUE. I do it all the time 25/year for the program guide.

    The catch is the TUNER will always be UPSTAIRS. not downstairs so you have to go up to change channels unlless you have an RF Remote (And they make those too).
  • I have a Home Run tuner hooked to my home network, which gives me full dvr capability and wifi access for all tvs

    I'll edit to add links- this is the tuner I have, I use my main PC for a dvr running Plex, but you can use a Respberry Pi running plex pretty easily.

    One TV uses an Amazon Firestick, one a Roku streaming stick, and the last a Raspberry Pi. All get all OTA channels.
