Help with Humax Freesat & wifi

Foggster

(I have posted this in TV section but 121 views but sadly no responses)

Due to the location of hub and television, I am reluctant to run a cable through the house to access the iplayer/youview functions of the Humax box.

Can anyone recommend a wireless dongle that can do this for me? I see Humax have one but they seem expensive.

Understand this works

But can I be a real girlie and ask if anyone could recommend one in black (it would stick out like a sore thumb!!!)

Many thanks

Which Humax box have you got? I doubt the one you posted the link for will work with a foxsat-hdr but I am not sure.

I use one of the EW - 7711 based dongles on a HDR-FOX T2 OK

BUT various forums seem to indicate the Foxsat one doesn't support wi-fi ?

So you will probably need to use HomePlugs /Power line adaptors to the signal via your mains wiring

This one for me

Then I feel you are out of luck, you need homeplugs / ethernet cable or a wifi extender with ethernet sockets. I can't say for the 1000s

Just looked at the 1000s box and that seems to be the same

Homeplugs are the most reliable way to go.
