Distributing a video signal to my neighborhood...any ideas?

[hotwire132002]

I'm trying to send out a video signal (from my live production suite--I'd like to put together a little TV show) out to my neighboorhood--I need to get it around 1/2 mile. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can pull this off?

Search for low power tv transmitters, I found this one that's meant for in-home transmission, but I suppose you could find something a bit more powerful for your needs. I believe you can use a certain wattage without needing an FCC license.

That's a good idea, but to get far enough I need a license... which the FCC won't give me until 2006 . Any other ideas?

How great a distance do you wish to broadcast ? This one does 500'

(Oh, and it's a coincidence that the seller is named Todd ... it's not me. )

As it turns out, I have one of those (from that seller, too) , and it doesn't even make it to my next door neighbors' house .

Back to the drawing board--any more ideas, post them here!

Thanks for the help so far!

How did you like it, though ? I'm thinking of getting one ... I'm not interested in the neighbors seeing it, though ...
