A TV is used as a display for watching movies from video source devices like DVDs and Blu-ray players. To eliminate the cables that transmit the video signal between a video source device and a TV, use a wireless HDTV module. The transmitter and receiver that comes with the HDTV module -- of which there are a number that can be purchased at varying prices -- will sync with each other. This will provide a wireless link of the video signal between the video source device and the TV. Neither the video source device or the TV will be modified in any way by using the wireless HDTV module.
Step 1
Place the transmitter of a wireless HDTV module, for example, the GefenTV (see Resources), next to the DVD or Blu-ray player. Plug the power cord of the transmitter into a wall socket for power.
