    No, it's down as somehing that might be implemented in the future but not yet.

    If it's just wiring it to the hub you're worried about, the self install comes with a couple of ethernet to mains adapters which make this a doddle.

    bit of a pain if its your only freeview box, if your broadbands down or your hubs faulty then no TV
