keep in mind that most of the rf modulators you will see are analog (NTSC)... I haven't seen a decent digital one for under $850...

you might try out Intel "WiDi " wireless display.. I think that may work for your situation, but I could be wrong...

Do it with chromecast. Embed the videos in a browser, and cast to your tv. $20 solution.

Ok, so I was originally just gonna let this post die because there is none, but some junk replies just convoluted the space so I'll give you the good and bad.

The bad is there are no direct digital connections like HDMI which can be split to multiple sources. Connections like HDMI talk back and forth (much like usb, and ethernet) and simply do not function when there are more then 2 end points. It is not like the days of composite and RF in which a signal is mindlessly blasted out.

There ARE such things as hdmi splitters which actually act as a single display to the source and then copies itself to 3 or 4 hdmi connections, but this is commercial grade (and priced) equipment.

A more down to earth method is using stream devices like the chromecast as your receiving ends and then use a broadcast streaming server as your source. IE on the main computer, just use a video capture program that sends its data to a broadcast server on the same computer, and then you just have all your video connections connect over the network via chromecast or fire stick. Synching might be an issue but it is also probably the cheapest route to go.
