    Depends on your budget what box you want, so choose it and use homeplugs if you can't get router near tv. I use blade bm7000, easy to use for wife and kids. Don't like openbox myself, think they are crap, picture quality nothing compared to blade, that's my opinion

    Any box that has an ethernet port can be made wireless with a Vonets or a Tenda adaptor, Never liked the homeplugs personally all depends on your budget

    Home plugs are class use them with an 800
    and an open media
    Pick them up on the bay for about 15 to 20 notes..............Paul

    I have used tp link pa211 for long enough and found them to be faultless. Plug and play and £31.75 at moment.

    hi

    I have used homeplugs, Vonets VAP11G and a Tenda w300m adaptors (a tenda w150m is also ok) with dm500 and openbox S9 all work well

    the only thing I would do differently would be, If using homeplugs I would get the piggy back type to use less plug sockets

    the issue of networking has little to do with buying a box as its a separate issue

    buy the box you wish to own according to your requirements

    and buy a vonets or homeplugs depending on your preferences, or run in a cat 5 cable
