I have an out building, workshop, about 100' from the house. We have a
yagi antenna on the top of the house that has antenna motor to point it
anywhere. It's really not in use, but it can be put into use easily to
receive TV stations in Sacramento (50 miles away) and the SF/SJ Bay area
(150 miles away). We have a digital to analog converter for its use, and
can pull in about 6-8 stations with it. Except for the roof area the
coax is inside the house via the attic. It can be reached there. I'd
like to get these signals from the workshop using the yagi and avoiding
running coax out there.

Is there a wireless device that I can use in the attic to transmit the
signal to the workshop? The device would have to be located inside the
attic. I might be able to get away with rabbit ears in the workshop, but
I have a small yagi I could put on a pole next to the workshop.
Actually, it works for some of the stations above, but would probably
need to be raised 30-40' to clear trees and other obstacles to work as
well as the house yagi. Comments? Another newsgroup?

My experiance with 2.4 GHz relays, is they are lousy. There are probably better units
than mine, and there are directional antennas that will
focus the beam. You also need a channel changer remote to
control the D/A transverter.
