    Guys, Is there any way of doing this with a coaxial cable??
    I ask because getting a cat cable from A to B is going to be a nightmare... So before any drastic decisions are made, I need to know is there any way possible by using the coax?
    Thanks again in advance

    If the remote TV has a Freeview-HD tuner (some earlier models with HD DVB-T tuners will also work)

    Or just buy a £20 Android media box off Ebay, install the Aura app on that and plug the box into your 2nd TV.

    Not sure if this fits the bill. If you are watching a recording on the main TV. And need to nip-out to say a Kitchen to make a G&T for the better half :D. You need to be watching a synchronised stream. Better half in lounge can skip any ads with the remote TV remaining in absolute synch.

    The balun pair with a network cable link works perfectly.

    Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
    But it won't cost a penny to find out.

    Do you have a android tablet ? The Aura app lets you watch live TV and recordings from the main box.

    You can also download them (even - HD recordings) in SD quality. On a small screen they look fine. Watching them on a 4K TV is likely to look dreadful.

    The two alternatives you have will give you a full-HD picture which on a 4K TV with a decent scaler will look fine. Are you sure you cant get a flat cat 7 cable to the kitchen ? Mine goes through a small hole to outside along an outside wall and then through a wall to the wall hung TV. It's flat enough to go under carpets or even through a window seal.

    Digital modulators are still pretty expensive though I guess they will get cheaper.

    Unfortunately I live in an attic apartment with wooden floors. And the already mentioned coax is in place.
    Looks like it'll have to be pause and watch normal TV whilst she's cooking
