Cheap no, simple yes :D 

At a school we use a HDMI switch which outputs over cat5 to the extenders. 

But define cheap, for this kind of stuff i would consider 200 cheap, but someone might have a better/cheaper way?

Simplest option is HDMI splitter that duplicates one signal into many.

There are wifi extenders...but if you're looking at multiple tv's each via wifi, you're going to be leaving "cheap" far behind.

 

To confirm, you want it so everyone is seeing the same thing at the same time, as opposed to everyone having access to network video services?

correct same image same time not down to the second or anything but yes one video multiple rooms. i like to roam around the house and i used to feed my pc over an rf converter to each tv via cable coax but thats not really possible now i am looking for an alternative.

If you got the coax all wired to the right places, there might be ways to use that to get the signal from one place to the other.

 

A quick google found this, which isn't availble, but does indicate the tech is out there.
