Send TV signal wirelessly to kitchen TV?

Layout is [living room] ---> [dining room] ---> [kitchen]. Big arch openings between each room, max 30 feet between living room and kitchen.

We have ATT Uverse in the living room. Wife wants to able to watch TV in the kitchen. Right now there's no way to run cables to that section of the kitchen. I would of liked to have put another ATT receiver in there, but didn't think ahead.

Is there a wireless solution that would basically send a signal to the kitchen TV? It's fine if it sends the same channel I'm watching through Uverse. But I'd also like it to be able to send the same signal if I'm watching a DVD/BR.
 
That cost is within my budget... but will it do TV to TV or settop box to TV?

Edit: Nevermind, reading the reviews it seems like it will work!
 
Is there a coax outlet in the kitchen? If so, $200 will rent a lot of months of another receiver. The solution provided above will require the source and destination to be showing the same show.

You can also do HDMI over ethernet or powerline which may (or may not) work better than wireless. I haven't used any of these solutions.
 
You could do Slingbox. You could also go old school and find an RF coaxial transmitter/receiver (should be cheap, not sure of quality).

Anandtech had a review of the wicast and said the signal range was pretty pathetic.
 
I use a linksys media center extender DMA2200 ($130) to do the same thing, of course it is required that you have an HTPC or another PC running Media Center that has a cable tuner card to do it, but it is nice to be able to watch from the same recorded shows on my HTPC. I run it on my wireless N network. It has HDMI and can stream high def no problem. One warning is this media extender was very flakey and would crash often when it was on my old network with a Netgear 3500 router. Now I have a Dlink DIR655 and it runs very stable now, trouble free.
