Wireless internet to TV

I have a Panasonic TV which has built in Freesat. Later this month Freesat will be launching BBC iplayer and maybe the ITV player. Does anyone know a way to wirelessly connect my TV to the router in the next room. The TV has an ethernet socket.

    A pair of Homeplug mains networking adaptors should work

    Yes, I'm beginning to think a 10m ethernet cable might be the simplest and cheapest

    Yes, as well as being faster and more stable.

    Fortunately, I've got my router beside by Freesat HDR, but the only solutions that the Freesat wesbsite recommends are an ethernet cable or homeplug adaptors (networking over your mains cables). They'll be avoiding wireless bridges as streaming video over wireless can be unreliable, there's no reason why you can't do it and do it well, but there's also plenty of potential for it to get stuffed up due to loads of factors like location etc.
