Panny 50G20 Dongle

I've added a Belkin dongle to the above but apart from the blue light illuminating, nothing else seems to happen. Do I have to get an original Pannasonic dongle for the tv to recognise the device?
As this tv seems very popular with PH crowd, I wondered if anyone can shed some light on this.

If you go to the panasonic website and check the supported products page you will see which USB wireless sticks are supported. The Belkin is not one of them.

AFAIK you'll need a Panasonic dongle for the 20 series sets.

Any ideas where this "supported products" page is?
as I can't find it anywhere on the Panasonic Website....

I wouldn't rely on wireless, get a power line adaptor at the router, and at the telly, then cat five them together over the power sockets. Way faster and more reliable speed anyway, especially when streaming off the tinter web

Got all mine done this way, far better, like all networked by cable

If the TV has a Cat 5 port then I agree that a power line Ethernet kit is the best option. I'm currently watching the F1 Forum on iPlayer on my Panasonic TV as I type this. Works brilliantly, and we've only got a 2MB line for all the household Interwibbleness.
