Which wireless adapter for Sky+ HD box to connect to my wirelss router

researcher

I've been upgraded to unlimited broadband and want to connect my Sky+ HD box to my router wirelessly. Sky sell their own box
http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/on-demand-connector/

for £21.95, which are a bit cheaper on Ebay (but whether they're any good or Chinese copies I don't know). Do I need to get one of these or will another work just as well?

Any suggestions for the cheapest most efficient method.

i got one of the Sky "on-demand" boxes for free. Had a card through the post from them with a web address to apply for one. Took about 3 months to come, but it works fine.

Here's the link - the offer is still on their website; https://my.sky.com/mysky/ondemand/

Thank you, but that is for customers who they have contacted. Its not available to me.

I think its free for all sky movies customers

I subscribed to sky movies for a month (Half price subscription - £8) and ordered the box - then cancelled the sky movies

I only cancelled movies last month!

I cancelled movies ages ago but got a card through a while ago. Couple of weeks ago I got another card saying it's on its way (not sure where from though by the amount of time since the last card).
Although I'm too cheap to buy a wireless adapter for the Sky box, so I just bought a longer cable and moved the router to the TV - speeds haven't been affected.

We got a box from Sky for nothing and we don't subscribe to sports or movies. Took a long time to come but it's been well worth the wait. Can't you phone them up to ask if you're eligible?

I've just been discussing that with my OH - will give it a try.

Mine came about a month after the second card saying "it's on it's way!"

No good - they want £199 from me for a new box:eek:
