Default Wireless (cable) programming reception?

I know Direct TV has what they call the Genie set top box. They also have a mini Genie. From what I understand the mini Genie allows one to connect the mini Geni to a television set in another room/location and receive the programming that is available to the subscriber.

I have Comcast and I am interested in putting a television on our lanai. However if at all possible I want to avaoid having to have a wall jack and cable installed to get programming.
Does anyone have such capability with Comcast. I know I can call to find out. I want to know what other residents do or have.

I wouls seriously consider switching to Direct TV if Comcast does not offer a similar feature.

Dish network I understand has what they call the Hopper. At this point I do not know yet whether the Hopper has the "wireless" capability through a remote box.

Any other suggestions appreciated.
