    best way to cut out my cables

    Hi, i have a sv7. my tv is in one room, and my pc is in my bedroom on the same floor. At the moment, i am running long cables to my sv box. this is not very sensible for me, because the cables are to obvious.i have a netgear wireless n cable gateway. it replaced my modem a few months since. i would like for both the ethernet, and the broadband feed to the sv7 to be wireless. any suggestions please. thanks. tom.

        cheaper option is wifi bridge at 20 quid homeplugs alot more expensive but alot less setting up i suppose if your not technically minded
        I saw a billboard on the way to work this morning that read "Future Events."

        Well, that's a sign of things to come.

            basically u get 2 plug ins that one will plug in next to your router and the other will plug in where ever in the house u have setup your device in this case your sv box and then 2 ethernet cables one from the plug in down stairs to the router and the other ethernet from the plug in upstairs and into your sv box same as a hard wire connection with out all the trailing cables ....simpllllles these are sold for a pair around 50 pounds as the wifi bridge which i use is around 20 pounds

              thanks, just one more question. if i go down the homeplugs road, i understand that i will have an ethernet connection to my router, and one from near my sv7 box into it. i think i understand that. but what about my cable that goes from my broadband splitter, to my sv7 box. that is a screw in. joe

                im guessing u mean the black cable that screws into the starview box? my set up at the minute is in the upstairs of my house, so i have used a f-type screw in 2 way splitter as i have a vermin box in down stairs, so using the splitter i routed a another cable to the outside to the upstairs sounds a big job but 20 mins and you have a nice tidy cable runnig up the outside to the upper bed room hope this helps

                  i cant do that with my set up, as i live in a flat. is there no way, that i can send the link from my broadband coming in the flat, to the sv7, in another room, without using cable. thanks. joe

                      i have bought and set up 2 homeplugs today. now i dont need an ethernet cable. that is great, and i'm happy with that. but i still have to run a cable thru my flat, for the broadband connection. this is not ideal, as people cant miss it, when they come in my flat. joe
