I'd personally go for one of those very cheap (and most definately nasty)
low power transmitters that are designed so that one VCR/Satelite/cable
receiver can be viewed on any number of tv's through the house.  They can be
picked up over here in the UK for under 10 pounds and save an enormous
amount of work playing with high frequency circuits.  Actually, they are
very cleverly (cheaply) designed, the one I have uses only 3 transistors to
transmit video and audio. They are not frequency locked in anyway and tend
to drift with temperature. Mine has a range of maybe 50 meters in open air.
