    Is there such a thing as a wireless TV Tuner?

    Something where I can plug a coaxial cable into a wireless transmitter of some kind and then receive the signal on my laptop through a USB 2.0 port or even a PCI card?

    It would make things more convenient.

    I think you might be able to get something that makes a coaxial cable wireless and then plug that into a tuner connected to your laptop.

    something like this: http://shoptronics.stores.yahoo.net/2wiauvisesyw.html

    Do a froogle for "wireless tv transmitter" and see what you can come up with.
