    Hi, just joined the forum and looking to get my HDR 1000s next week. I am currently viewing freesat on my Sky+ box and looking to ditch this.

    My question is :- Will the Sky wireless adapter i used to watch anytime+ work as a wireless connector to access iplayer on the Humax box, or will i need homeplugs ?

    Can't have an ethernet cable as my property layout makes it very awkward.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy I have tried putting my Belkin dongle in the USB and doesn't seem to work.

    Humax don't seem to provide any information about wireless connections which is strange , unless they have shares in 'homeplugs'.

    The built in wifi on my Sony TV and the DVD player connected and played first time!

    Welcome both of you to our Forum

    1. No idea if sky wireless adaptor will work, no experience or knowledge of the chipset it uses.

    2. I know the Humax wifi dongle works, as I have tested it. There are cheaper alternatives which work on the HDR T2.

    I've just switched from using a flaky Linksys wifi bridge to using an Edimax EW-7711UAn dongle, £11 from Amazon (the official Humax dongle is £30). I think you have to be careful with the wifi dongles as not all are compatible, but apparently several of the Edimax dongles work fine & I can confirm the EW-7711UAn works well for me.

    Hi. So how exactly did you set it up? I am trying to use the 7711Uan with HDR1000s and assumed it would be simple plug n play. But it doesn't work. Any ideas gratefully received!
