    Can dreambox be connected wirelessly to Iphone if no home broadband?

    I've just moved and currently have no broadband until the end of June. I was just wondering if it was possible to connect my dreambox to get internet access which is required to watch NON-FTA programmes. Everything else is in place I just don't have broadband but since I moved I have been using my Iphone as a wireless hotspot for my computer so was just thinking if it would work with the dreambox. I used my dreambox to search for the wireless Iphone hotspot but it failed to see it.

    You could always setup a bridge between the Laptop and dreambox

        I got it to work but using the Ethernet lead connected to my laptop, when I try to use just the wifi on my phone by itself the DREAMBOX doesn't pick it up. So do you just use your IPHONE without a computer to connect to the DREAMBOX?
