Watching TV On Computer - With no nearby arial port
I realise that when you purchase a tv tuner for your computer you will need a nearby arial port (like when usignyour normal tv) or at least this is what I assume. My query is what if I have the computer in a room that is not near an arial port. Is there a way of wirelessly sending tv signals to my computer/laptop or will I have to consider fitting a new arial port?

I tried using the arial that came with a tv tuner i got but the area im in the signal is low. I'm assuming that applies to the product above.

You may check for some signal amplifier, but I'm not familiar with them.
