Any good devices for beaming TV signals into another room?

I am going to install DirectTV in my new place and got two satellite receivers. The first one is nice and simple. The balcony where the dish is located will have a TV about 15 feet away from it. Not too complicated even for a simpleton like myself. The other TV is not as easy to setup. The apartment is "L" shaped and would require about 200 feet of coax around doors and along baseboard. To complicate things the frames of the doors are metal and cannot be used to tack the wire. Any staples in the drywall will quickly loosen. Finally, it would suck aesthetically for all the wire to be running along the wall.

Now the question. Any know of any RF devices that can beam the signal to that room? I would basically have coax cable run from the dish to just inside the house. Then some sort of transmitter sending the signal to a receiver. The receiver would than be plugged into the satellite receiver. Total distance will be about 40 feet. Line of sight ends as the wall makes a 90 degree turn. The bedroom TV is more of a convenience so I am not looking for DVD quality.

Anyone know of any such system? For those that have used them, how is the performance? Thanks.

Did some searching and came up with something called the Wavecom III SR. It operates at 2.4ghz with a 300 foot range (I'll assume 100 feet to be more realistic). Also has a IR repeater for remotes. Seems to get good reviews.

Anyone tried something like this?

Any telephone outlets in the walls? In my appartment, the living room and bedroom share a wall with a telephone jack in both sides. I ran a coax line from the bedroom cable outlet through the hole for the phone jack and into the living room.

BTW, do you still have that Matrox G400 Max?
