If you're going to use coax then you won't get a great picture. If possible a DVD player for each TV would be best and would be cheaper and better quality than a wireless sender (which you don't want anyway).

You can buy DVD players now for less than £15!

Okay in that case you probably aren't too worried about the PQ. Since you already have coax wired up then the easiest thing is to distribute via that.

You could by an RF modulator but the easiest thing if you have such a beast is to use an old VCR. Play the DVD into the VCR SCART and that will then modulate onto the RF and around the system. You'll have to take the RF out of the VCR into the input of the distribution amp.

Sounds pretty good to me but something to note is that I believe this will only work ok if the DVDs being played don't have Macrovision copy protection on them. The majority of commercially produced mass-market titles will do but anything else (homemade stuff etc) will be fine.
