What you're describing sounds like an RTP broadcast and its something
thats being worked on (just audio for now) in mfd.  for now you could
use an RF modulator in your house and set all the TVs to channel 3. 
Just make sure you stop it before it gets out to the street (just use
a one way signal boost or something).  Of course this will make
watching live TV difficult.
