How big is the house? Wireless goes by line of sight, any walls or obstructions will decrease the signal. A more central location for the router with less walls would help.
Only do a repeater if you can wire the repeater and then serve wireless with it, otherwise it halves the signal receiving and transmitting. An example of how I did it is here:

Powerline is a good option to get down to the TV if there is no wire to run cat5 cable. For streaming on the TV wireless is going to be frustrating at best.
A lot of houses have crawlspaces that you could run cat5 cable through, is that a possibility?
