Yes, there are lots of UHF modulators around. Labgear ones seem to have
a good reputation. Channel needs choosing with care - you need to check
where the analogue and digital is in your area and then use the "taboo
calculator" to find free channels.

Yes, use Sky tvlink eyes. Put an eye in the remote room and it will
"just work"(tm) with a Sky box but you'll need a tvlink plus or
Omni
for any other device.

I'm doing all of this (and more) so am happy to help BUT it's usually
best to scribble a diagram and stick it on a web site somewhere.
