How to connect my panny HDR / BR or TV to the internet?

[rhinochopig]

Now that I player is coming to the red button there is a reason to connect my TV or HDR to the net so that I can access it.

The question is how would I best do this given that:

a) there is no phone socket near to the TV
b) the wireless router is positioned a long way from it as well so running cables would be a PITA.

Is there a widget that will do it wirelessly?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Powerline adaptors.

I thought you hated them as they caused interference?

We really should change this sub-forums title to Ask Plotloss.

althought it only has one ethernet port- could be connected to a spare router or switch if needed more than one ethernet port.

what you need is the bridging bit which will allow you to plug your telly into this access point, which will then connect directly to your wireless network.

Perhaps "Which Panasonic?"

DMR-BS750 and V10 TV.

Can you recommend which powerline adapters are the best then? I've googled them and there are millions of the buggers.

I want the most idiot proof version with minimal set-up that I can plug into a surge-protected block, and will just plug straight into my wireless router at the other.

Are Powerline adapters ok at the end of an extension lead?

Depends, if it's a surge protected one then no.

Devolo or Netgear as far as brands go.
