Simple answer, no. The cable TV signal is entirely different than the wireless data that your computers send. Cable television requires massive amounts of bandwidth and there is nothing that will simply plug into a coax wall plate and have a another wireless end point you can plug your TV into.
There are solutions though. Things like using a Media Center computer with a wireless extender in another room, but that all gets tricky too, especially with cable, since there is currently no way to utilize cable to it's fullest extent with a Media Center computer (digital requires a cable card, and none currently support PPV, VOD, SDV, or anything bi-directional).
Pretty much anything you could do would be half assed. Unfortunately you just need another coax jack.

Right on, thats what I was wondering. In that case I will probably just get rid of this TV (Or stick it in a closet) and get rid of it's entertainment center as well.

So...get an RF remote and stash an additional cable box where you have a cable jack. There are CERTAINALY solutions to transmit audio/video without cable. Easy low cost solution.

If I remember correctly, there is wireless HDMI. Can't you connect the coax into an adapter or something and have HDMI coming out?
Link. I'm not sure I'd trust this, but it might work. Plus it has a video!

Yes, but the cable transmission terminates at the STB. There is no "wirless digital cable transmission" orrcuring. The STB is treaming the A/V to the TV, not the raw cable.

I don't want dish, I'm happy with my cable service. Plus, the only place I am allowed to put a dish is on my patio, which is connected to my living room. Putting the dish out there would leave me in the same spot I am in now.
Bunny ears? Do they still make those things? I'd never use them, I'd just as soon not have any TV at all than just watch PBS.
