So I'm trying to fix a problem my parents are having. They want to stop paying for satellite, and just pick up public stations, but they can't seem to get any of the stations they care about no mater what antenna they buy. I thought there could be a system put in place that uses one antenna hooked up to a wireless box that would repeat the signal and then have individual antennas for each television that picked up that signal, similar to how a wifi modem works. Problem is I can't find any products that clearly states that is what they do, so I don't know if this method even exists. Anyone have suggestions on either getting my method to work or a better method?

Don Lapre posted:Have you tried large attic or roof mount antennas? I don't think so. They have the room to do it too. Maybe that would work. Still the issue is that not all the TV's in their house can be hardwired to that central antenna so I was hoping for a wireless solution.

All the TV's in their house are HD at this point. And they can pick up all the stations they care about but only when the antenna is located in a particular spot, usually a window, on the north facing side of the house. The issue is that they have to run a long coax cable that is unsightly and in the way to do so, which is why I wanted to find a wireless option to tie into that antenna. Honestly, though at this point, I might just sell them on the idea of a Roku since they can get all the public stations on there as well.
