use a pair of homeplugs

or you could use one of the Vonets or tenda wi-fi adaptors which are cheap enough, I know sky will try and charge you around ?65 for the official one. or you could try and blag one for free worth a try

you cannot have 2 routers on the same phone line

you may be able to use the second router as a wireless adapter, but thats a pc or broadband hardware issue and nothing to do with satellite

the homeplugs or wifi adapter are the correct alternatives to a cat5 cable

ok thanks for all ur help guys on this prob, looks like its a rj45 cable slung from router upstairs to box down staires, (allways the hard way) ..cheers.chris..

It's being made available to any broadband supplier from march onwards so you do not need to have Sky Broadband to access it

Sky Anytime+ goes from strength to strength with more content and increased reach

cheers digi that clears that up

Hi it might be worth trying to get a anytime + wireless adaptor for nothing from them I did when the service first came out, all it took was a few phone calls.

[chris31560]

hi jane, u now wot i might just give that a go, better than the earthanet cable job ..

[6233jane]

definitely, if you can get something for nothing then its worth a try. Shy bairns get nowt . Good Luck.

[chris31560]

hi jane, yes just got off the phone with sky and they said i could have one free yehhhhhhh happy days.thanks again..chris..

[6233jane]

Brilliant, pleased to hear it. They are dead easy to set up much better than messing about with wires etc.
