Thanks in advance for any information/advice.”
You will get a better response on the Freesat+ forum but I will give you a quick response.
I have my BT Homehub 2 and Humax Foxsat HDR connected with 85mps Homeplugs. They cost £40 for the pair and work perfectly, just google for the best price. My Router and HDR are at opposite ends of the same room. I also have a third in the top storey of the house connected to my sons desktop PC and that runs iPlayer fine.
With the home plugs you will get BBC iPlayer now. Also ITV Player is in Beta testing, I have used it and it is OK. Just search this site for details on how to access ITV player. If you go to Channel 900 you will see that it mentions other sevices in the future but as of yet no details are available as to what they may be.
