Abstract

A new and improved wireless cable box system is disclosed that allows video to transmit from a main transmitter box to a plurality of receivers via a low band signal. A cable would be connected to the main transmitter box, and the box would subsequently transmit a low band (video and sound) to the receivers. The receivers are attached to the input of their specific television.

Claims

1. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence comprising:

(a) a main transmitter box, the main transmitter box including at least one coaxial cable input, the main transmitter box further including at least three audio/visual inputs, the main transmitter box further including at least one audio/video output, the main transmitter box having an incorporated transmitter capable of transmitting audio and video signals via low band signal, the audio and video signals being received from an input source connected to the coaxial cable input,

(b) a plurality of receivers, each receivers designed to pick up the low band signal emitted by the main transmitter box, and

(c) a plurality of television sets, each television set being hooked up to a receiver, each television set capable of receiving both regularly available television stations and video and audio signals from the transmitter box.

2. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence according to claim 1 wherein the plurality of receivers would preferably comprise at least four receivers.

3. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence according to claim 1 in combination with a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable being connected to the coaxial cable input, the coaxial cable designed to carry cable television signals.

4. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence according to claim 3 wherein the main transmitter box would further include the capability to perform an automatic channel screening to exclude the possibility of an individual choosing a station not available in a particular geographic area.

5. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence according to claim 1 wherein each receiver would further include a self-timer and a sleep function, with the self-timer and sleep function on each receiver being controlled by the main transmitter box.

6. A wireless cable system for transmitting audio and video signals within a residence according to claim 1 wherein each television set hooked up to a receiver would be hooked up via a coaxial cable.
