I would like to put a TV into our bedroom but the only aerial socket is across the other side of the room. I'd rather not have to trail a cable from this to the TV so wondered what my options are. Presumably I can simply use an indoor aerial but are these any good? Or can I buy a wireless aerial which plugs into the existing socket?

Thanks.

Generally set top aerials are not worth it unless you are in a very strong signal area, the only way to tell is to buy one and see if it works. The best option really is to run a cable, tack it to the top of the skirting board or hide under the carpet.
