Someone Should Invent A Wireless Router Just For Cable Television.
Because you would make money like a yeehaw. Face it. If you had a wireless networking box send frequencies to your tv box, it saves cable companies the hassel of installing a cord. Idk... Some cable guy told me it was a good idea...

There already is. It's called a pair of rabbit ears. Are the people on this site so young they have never heard of VHF transmission?

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency

It makes no sense to me for local and regional broadcasters to abandon VHF. The only reason it's happening is because conglomerates have too much power in TV and radio. There used to be laws limiting how many TV and radio stations one person could own, but those laws were turfed out in the 1980s so a$$hole$ like "Klear Khannel Kommunications" could exist and take over entire networks.

Abandoning VHF also forces consumers to buy unnecessary and new TVs and converters, something manufacturers are also very happy about.

 WOOOOW. Thats so messed up. Couldn't VHF allow other people not under the monopoly to compete? Verizon Wireless wouldn't have anything on me if all I needed was a walkie talkie for local use. Is that the same idea?

That cable guy didn't know what he was talking about. Wireless technology just isn't fast enough at the moment to transmit live HD video, especially over long distances. You'd be getting tons of lag, lots of video breakup, etc. It's a nice idea, it just won't work with current technology.
