Do I need to install aerial wall outlets or is there a wireless solution

television

Just bought a new house and realized that everything is great but there's only one aerial socket (rooftop antenna coax connector) and it's on the opposite side of the living room where I want the TV.

I also want a TV in the kitchen and probably some in the bedrooms: basically, I'd like to be able to put a TV wherever I want conveniently.

So I'm wondering if I need to hire an electrician to install aerial socket outlets in each of the rooms or is there some sort of device I can get to plug into the aerial socket I have now which will increase the TV signal, similar to a wifi repeater or something and then other TVs in the home can use portable antennas.

One solution I have used in the past is the HD Home Run. It is an OTA tuner that outputs to your home WIFI network. To receive the output, you can use a PC with Windows media player, an XBox or Playstation, or your smart TV if it supports DLNA.

I personally used a PC to receive the signal, and then connected my PC to my TV to view. The nice part about that is that Windows Media Player has a free program guide for OTA tv, and can act as a DVR.
