Is there a YouView Box which connects to your broadband via WiFi, I don't want to have a cable from my space bedroom (where the router is) coming down the stairs to the living room.

Youview recommend use of Homeplugs (a.k.a. Powerline Adapters) rather than WiFi. You plug one into the mains where your router is and connect it to your router, and one into the mains where your Youview box is and plug your Youview box into it.

I tried using WiFi 802.11n via a Wireless bridge to stream to my Smart TV some time ago but found it unreliable with buffering and stalling. I now use 500Mbps homeplugs with my Youview box and have no issues streaming even HD films.

I would not recommend use of WiFi for connecting a Youview box - for good results go with Homeplugs or a cable.
