Why dont you buy a long ethernet cable upto 20 m less than ?15, homeplugs are expensive and with ethernet cable your always going to get a hard connection

I am currently running the wifi dongle and every now and then need to reboot the box to get a connection, I am thinking of going for the Home plugs from the above.

Currys 18 quid for twin pack

I prefer a hard line, got 4 under the floor boards with out issues.

[andy91]

Ive both but never had problem with homeplugs that I use in my lounge and bedroom.
18 quid for a twin pack its better than having cable being run all over the house and I'm guessing that's better than a 50 ft run of Ethernet.

I'm using the Skybox wi-fi dongle without any problems. The box is about 10 feet from the router. Probably going to change it to a cable so I can use the USB slot for a HDD.

Either hard wire or use the homeplugs, much more stable. Wifi can play issues with these boxes.

I use the dongle that came with the box and have had no wifi issues with connectivity, the router is in the next room btw-havinmg said that using homeplugs would free up the usb socket instead of pulling in and out when adding channel updates etc

i av used the dongle on a few boxes and always ad problems with glitching and freezing the homeplugs are perfect never av any issues but you will need 2 and the cheapest i have seen are TP LINK AV200 200Mbps Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit (TL-PA211KIT) - BT Shop

I'm using the official Sky Wireless on demand connecter which Sky sent me for free with an ethernet connection into my f5s.
I have the Sky wireless connector connected to a simple 3g mifi pointer and hardly ever get a problem wih it.
