My humax freeview box, lg blu ray player and tv all need to be plugged into my router which I want to leave where it is also my ariel comes in at that corner, I have concrete floors so can't wire under floor and don't want cables running round the room so is there wireless options.for Ethernet and freeview ariel

You can easily extend the networking to the new location using either powerline networking or a Wi-Fi Access Point. However if you have more than one device to connect then you will also need a hub or switch.

However you do need to use a cable to extend the Freeview aerial to the new location. If you don’t like the idea of a cable along the skirting board then if there is an external wall you can use I have seen people drill a holes to the outside and feed the aerial cable along the outside of the building.

As mentioned in post #2 for Stb's.......

For the TV reception you could use an indoor aerial if the signal is strong or video sender.

Indoor aerials are not recommended. Can't use a video sender to send RF.

Don't use powerline networking either, it causes serious interference to other spectrum users.

So your choices are leave it where it is, channel up the wall, run across the ceiling in the upstairs floor void, and channel down again, or possibly round the outside wall.

Why are indoor aerials not recommended - never had an issue using one. Can't see a problem if there's a strong signal.

Video sender would be connected to the Freeview box, why wouldn't that work.

Because that would mean leaving the Freeview box connected to the aerial and router in the corner where it is now because there are no connections in the corner where the OPs wife wants everything moved to

This only happens in Winston_World, so just ignore his continuous incorrect posts about it.

Powerlines should be fine, my Spectrum's been gathering dust in the garage for nearly 20 years so there can't be many left!
