Can I run more than one television from the 'box' without having to run a cable from it?

You need an AV sender.
Loads available on Ebay, Amazon, etc :)

Or a slingbox.

If you go for an AV sender, get the 5.8 GHz and not the 2.4 GHz .....
....... apparently microwaves and other appliances cause interference with the 2.4 GHz one.

If I bought one like this, the first in the list in the link, how is it set up? Is it something a technophobe could manage?

I've never had one - I rang my friend for the info 'cos I knew he had one.
As far as I'm aware, it's fairly straight forward.
Plug the transmitter into your "box" (Virgin, Sky or whatever) and plug the receiver into the remote TV. The transmitter sends the signal to the receiver, enabling it to be viewed on the remote TV.
I suppose the hardest bit will be tuning it in on the TV.
