Sorry, I forgot to mention the details due to a brain lapse but GoFlambe has elaborated somewhat on what I meant. Some of these tuners allow you to broadcast over your wireless network. I used to have a tuner on a computer by the cable modem. I had a cable splitter and so had one cable going to the modem for internet and another cable for TV going into the tuner. I would then set it it to broadcast over the wireless network which my laptop could pick up elsewhere in the house and even change channels, etc.

Perhaps this would be a little clumsy though but at least you have channel control. The other solutions like a wireless media broadcaster gives you less control.
