    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

              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
