Make sure you get a reasonable speed - not sure the 85mbps ones would work, I have 200mbps ones and HD from iPlayer is fine..
I would buy the 200mbps version now because they are becoming the norm and the price has come right down, but I use 85mbps homeplugs to stream iplayer (at the Higher quality setting) with no problem at all..... and they also work fine in a multi socket exstenion lead albeit with a small drop (about 10%) in speed.0 -
Thanks all
The TV i want to connect is a Sony KDL32403.
Is this the right kind of thing?:

EDIT: ignore above, Sony TVs, apparently, don't like dongles - best with Homeplugs.
My signal goes downstairs & through 2 walls, I have no problems watching HD iplayer videos using my Sony dongle0 -

I have the same model of Bravia (with slightly bigger screen), and the ones you indicated should work a treat. According to the reviews (which are generally excellent), cables are included.
If you can avoid it don't plug them into an extension lead, but straight into the wall socket. Having said all that, I have one of mine on a lead, and all is fine.
