My question: is there anyway to get cable, without plugging into a jack? I have cable service, and there are cable jacks in almost every other room in my house. Are there any products that could plug into a different jack and then transmit wirelessly or something?

Thx in advance.

Find where it comes into your house. Measure the distance. Go to Radio shack buy a spliter, screw in the cable to the spliter and hook it up to the TV. have a beer.

get a spliter and a whole bunch of co-ax. staple it to your baseboard/door frames as you make your way from your working cable jack to your kitchen. enjoy.

Unless you’re watching the Food Network, one should never have a TV on in the kitchen. It will ruin your appetite.

You can run cable anywhere it just depends on how much you want to spend and tear into if you lived in So Cal id be happy to help but you don’t good luck to you

[Cyclone59]

to get cable you will need, ummm, how else can I say this, a CABLE. As for the HDTV and rabbit ears, replace the ears with an HDTV antenna (they are cheap) and your picture will improve significantly.

You need a jack. All the cable runs need to be homeruns. Daisy chained set-ups are for the birds.

Go the Fry’s and get 100’ or whatever reaches of Rg 59 coax..and some hardware...(splitter.....tell the kids not to trip on the cable/.

What is under your kitchen? Crawl space or basement?

I have a problem and I can't find any good answers online.

You came to the right place.

If we don't know the answer, we can make one up.

Unless your kitchen has some weird configuration, there should be a way to get a cable to it. You might have to drill through a wall or some such.

As for any devices to go wireless -- I can't think of anything that would not cost a forture.

Google search wireless cable tv extender

[LiberConservative]

Google “wireless tv transmitter”. If you want it neat this might be the best way to go.

Call an electrician, and MAKE SURE they are good at running nonelectrical wiring. Most of the worst wiring I’ve ever seen has been done by electricians, however they ARE good at getting it in places you wouldn’t imagine a wire being able to go.

No.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else.

[CharlieOK1]

Thanks for the answers. I’m going to check each of these out and see what works best.

You need a splitter, and then just to run a line into your kitchen. Radio Shack has cable splitters.

[comps4spice]

Find a local electrician. He can drop the cable for you to the place you want it. Get three quotes and go with the cheapest.

[AFreeBird]

Split off from your cable, and run a new line to the kitchen. Use RG-6 cable, not RG-59. Do you have basement/crawl space access under the kitchen? Atic space over it might work too. Depends on your construction. Running cable post construction is always a pain, but with the right tools, doable.

As for wireless, you're not going to get as good a quality as cable. And HD signals use far more bandwidth than SD signals. Stick with cable.
