sony tv and dogle
Hi I've just bought a sony internet tv and sony say you need to buy a dongle but I've read some reviews and some people say buy this below, my question is will this work better not as I'm unsure what to buy. Thanks in advance Daz.
I read the reviews especially regarding poor wireless reception and of course the fact this gadget is unique to Sony and therefore not reuseable. Instead I bought a Homeplug Solwise 85Mbps Homeplug Adapter - Twin Packsetup for around £40 from Amazon which effectively hardwires the Sony TV to the internet via ordinary electricity plug sockets behind the TV and adjacent to my router (all cables included), and it is superb - literally plug and go - 2 minutes tops to set it up. Worked first time and of course can be used with any future TV or gadget as it is not model or brand specific. And less money! It's a no-brainer in my view. |

First question to answer is where is the TV in relation to your broadband router?
If they are both in the same room then the easiest way to connect one to the other is a cable. If a direct cable connection is not an option then Powerplugs are one option. Wireless is the other. Wireless can sometimes be a pain in the wotsits to get working. If you are surrounded by neighbours all with their own WiFi kit it can be difficult to find a free channel to use for trouble free networking. So Powerplugs are a viable option where wireless doesn't work well and a cable is not an easy option. |

The Tv is going in one of the bedrooms and is about 8 metres away so I didn't want a cable that far. The router is in the living room. So what other wireless options are there?
