Hey guys I got cable tv that comes into my place on the 2nd floor, I want to get it on the 1st floor but do not want to run cables, anyone know of a good device that works good to send cable tv wirelessly, its not digital cable just regular cable, want to be able to watch different channels on both tv's at the same time.

Sling box won't do what I want. as it changes the tv channel, plus I want to watch it on my TV not computer. But thanks for the info.

Slingbox makes a base station that you can hook to your TV.
