H guys,
Just a quick question ref the Hitachi 42'' tv ( 42HXT12U)as I just bought one. How does the dongle work as I have attached it into the back of the tv and it is showing that the wireless network I use is working but how do I get to use BBC I player etc
Any help would be great

Usually smart tv's will have an in-built app. Go to your app menu and see if there is one. If not, use ur browser through your smart tv and go to bbc site and see if there is a plugin that can be downloaded.0

Google for the full manual for your model0

Is the dongle actually connected, and with what signal strength?
When I started with a dongle on the TV, it did show up when logged in to the router settings, but the smart sections on the TV menu such as iPlayer and Youtube kept buffering.
I added a home-made parabolic reflector to the router wifi antenna and there has been no problem since then.0
