ewerk 39291 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I wouldn't pay the price they wanted for their 'specialised' wireless adapter the pack of bastards they are. They used to have a decent 'anytime' channel but have made it via internet only to sell their own adapters. Can you not use the wired adapters that work through the house's electrical wiring? I've got a set of them, I must try them out later. They're only about 20 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Aye you can cos that's what I use. If they don't automatically work, get them working on your PC first and then try them on your Sky box. That seems to get them to learn your network or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39291 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 They work fine with the bedroom TV but I hardly ever use them, smart TVs are a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a set of them, I must try them out later. They're only about 20 quid. I bought a set once and couldn't get it to work, not sure if it was lack of perseverance/temper or the fact that I looked into it and there was warnings from some that they don't always work in certain buildings. (Mine had an extension built on before we bought it and the bloke who built it had his electrics all over the shop). I might try again but with another make/model as it would be the ideal solution. I actually tried an ethernet tacross the floor/carpet o see if it would work but my sky box wasn't having it, I looked on sky's website and apparently there's only so many sky boxes that on demand will work on?! Mine is an amstrad and hasn't had the upgrade yet. Sky supplied the box it wasn't bought independently! Tried to then watch it online through my smart tv but it wouldn't stream it saying I needed something to this and would I like to download it? I tried but the tv said 'no'. Some fucking smart tv, (ewerks definitely right on that score). Looks like I can only view it on my home pc instead of relaxing on mien kampfy chair. Fucking technology man!

If you have a laptop then just connect it to the TV via the HDMI out. Job done. Edited July 11, 2013 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 6705 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have a smart tv in the bedroom and using gemmils plugs I can watch anything up there that is on my pc or watch any online content such as Netflix or iplayer etc. What do you boys want your smart TV to do that it currently doesnt?

I'll just go with this, didn't know it was done via an hdmi lead but had a quick on how to do it through an intel video. (Also sorts me out for the football too!) Cheers!
