Answer 1

Yes, you can use a wireless transmitter / receiver system.  Many companies make them.

Answer 2

There will still be wiring required to connect to the back of the TV and it will be hard to transmit streaming HD quality video over a WiFi network.   However,  Panasonic will be introducing a new technology to some of there upcoming Plasmas called WirelessHD.   This will allow for wireless connectivity from a BluRay Player, Camcorder, Camera, etc. to the TV in full HD quality over a high frequency transmission that can bounce around obstructions in the signal.   I saw this demonstrated at CES and it will definately save lots of time for installers or the average consumer.

Answer 3

The only thing wireless on the tv is the remote....any video source must be connected to the tv unless you have some sort of special wireless video streaming device with a receiver that can plug via HDMI to your tv.

Answer 4

Even with the wireless receiver, you will still have to get behind the TV to connect the wires from the receiver to the TV.
