    Wireless TV transmitters/repeaters?

    Bite the bullet and get some painkillers for the back side and direct bury coax. If my experience with wireless repeaters is representative, you'll end up doing this anyway if you want tv in the garage.

    What industrial supply stores do you have in town?

    One would think that here in NASCAR county, we'd be lousy with good places, but I guess all the shops get stuff off the truck. For the rest of us, there are the two big box places, but unless you're building a house, they're pretty much worthless. BUT. . . there are two places worth their...
