Service Merchandise has a "video rabbit" that uses 900 mhz RF to send
video/audio up to several hundred feet. It is meant to allow
one to view alternative video sources from anywhere in the house.
Price is about $90 for a pair.
There are other "rabbits" that use twisted pair wiring to do the same
thing. They predate the FCC's permitting RF rabbits and are generally
less expensive. I think Radio Shack carries these type.
