I have a broadband connection to my house but wish to besides at the broadband point to receive TV in 3 bedrooms without having to run cables all over the place. Please if you can tell me how I can accomplish this.

Are you asking how to have 3 TV's connected to your router?

If so you need to connect each TV via wi-fi. (Not all TV's have wi fi)

Thank you I have nothing at the moment but a TV. But I need a tv in each bedroom. So I need a router and special tv's then?

You can use wireless extenders which use the copper wire in your home's electric circuit to send the signals from your router via ethernet connections. These extenders plug into a socket near the TV and plug into a smart TV or a Firestick to give you connections. These are what you need https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing ... dapter-kit You will need two packs of two. One for the router, one each for three TV's plus the ethernet cables. I have used these for years.

Have a search for 'TP Range Extenders' they are available in lots of places. See if this Argos link works https://www.argos.co.uk/product/5742734 ... nk:14:32:1

If you're just talking about "normal" Freeview via an aerial, rather than TV via the internet, then the best solution is to split the aerial using something like this.

Running aerial cables to the separate TVs is a pain, but it works.
We have a wireless sender for video that takes the video signal from a PVR and sends it to the kitchen telly.
It works, but it's very prone to interference.
That's the actual video signal from a scart socket though rather than the aerial signal.
The TV in another room, which only gets occasional use, works fine on an indoor aerial. That depends where you are in relation to the transmitter though.

Thanks but doing it via wi-fi

It begs the question why did you ask then?

No, not "special" Tvs but ones that can connect to wi-fi, not all TVs can. So you could have what ever TV you like, but unless it has wi-fi and a wi-fi signal, no picture for you.
I honestly think you would be better off with either freeview or free sat, as if you have 3 tvs all on wi-fi, all on at the same time it may slow your wifi down for all of them.

If your TVs have Ethernet points and your WiFi isn’t great you may need to try power line adaptors but for the best solution running cables from the router to each of the TVs is best

Remember, your internet speed coming into your house will have a huge effect on the quality of the pictures if you want to use 2 or more TVs at once
