It is a ROKU Tv. Anything you can wirelessly stream to a Roku app will work. To actually send CABLE or SATELLITE from a set top box in one room wirelessly, you would need to get a wireless set top box from your cable or satellite provider. I know DirecTv has them. The other option is to do what I do, run an HDMI splitter on the output of the cable box, and use a fiber optic HDMI cable to run through the walls or the attic to the room needing a feed. Of course, you would both be watching the same channel that way. If you are a Xfinity cable subscriber, you can use the Roku Xfinity Stream app built into the TV to stream directly just like you had a cable box on it. Check with your cable company to see if they have a ROKU app. IF you are referring to a TV antenna, then you would need to run cable to this TV, or use an HDHomeRun network tuner, in the room with the cable and use the HDHomeRun Roku App to watch antenna tv. Hope that covers all the options.

That being said a lot of content being provided by cable boxes can also be found from streaming sources which of course would not require a physical cable connection if going wireless. You can find a list of providers from the following link: https://www.roku.com/whats-on In addition to the thousands of streaming sources you may also want to consider using an over the air antenna for additional free TV broadcast content. -TCL US Support
