Q&A: What is the “Slingbox” type unit called that works on a TV with an antenna instead of a computer?
Question by Dad needs help: What is the "Slingbox" type unit called that works on a TV with an antenna instead of a computer?
I have a TV in a room where I can't receive my DirecTv service. The service tech said he saw a unit on a DirecTv box in another house he serviced that allowed the owner to watch the same show on another TV in another room, that didn't have a DirecTv box. The other TV just needed an antenna to use the device on the TV with the DirecTv, but unfortunately he doesn't know what the device is called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Dad,
It is a wireless audio video transmitter. They aren't too expensive and are widely available.
Here is an example of one - http://www.shoptronics.com/2wiauvisebrt.html?gclid=CK3E_uahnpICFQm4sgodxzvDSw
