Depends on what you consider inexpensive and what sort of TV you are using.
X-10 used to carry AV extenders that could take a audio/video out signal and
transmit it via UHF to a receiver that could decode it and put it out as
(IIRC) either RF (channel 3/4) or via RCA jacks as a composite signal.
Unless your setup has a video out, that might not work.  If it's off-the-air
HD, it won't work either.  Tell us more about your specific equipment and we
can offer better advice.
