Sky+ Box To WiFi - Which Dongle ?

[DSLiverpool]

Now anytime+ is available for none sky subscribers I want a piece of the action, can I plug a wifi dongle into my Sky+ box if so do i need to do any set up etc ?

Sky do a wifi bridge now to connect your wireless network.

So you'll have:

Wireless Router - connected to bridge via wifi - bridge connected to Sky HD box via ethernet cable

The other option is to get one of the dongles off ebay or get a set of HomePlugs.

So you have 3 options, take your pick.

A word of warning, a USB dongle won't work, it needs to plug into the Ethernet port.

Your really not missing much. I'd connect your box via an Ethernet cable to see if you think the service is worth spending cash on.

Will be worth it when iplayer goes live later this year.

Do you have to have a current SKY+ subscription to do this?
I've got a Sky HD box from my expired contract, but am just getting the free channels at the moment.
