Connecting Sky TV to the Internet via a normal broadband router

Ah, I think that is my problem. I seem to recall it was the Box Office functionality I rang the Help Desk about.

Has anyone else had problems with that, or do the "no problem for me" replies above include the Box Office working OK?

Thanks for the replies so far BTW.

Yes our Box office works ok, but our box is indeed plugged into the phoneline. We have Sky Multi room, so we have to have them connected to the phone so they report back into Sky and let them know both boxes are still in my house.

Mine works fine plugged into the back of my BT home Hub up through the cavity wall, across the loft and down into the lounge
The only issue I am aware of is the wireless thingy is a Sky only component so you would need to buy , hence the hard wired solution

If the sky box has an ethernet port then you could use one of these:-

WIRELESS WIFI BRIDGE CLIENT FOR SKY HD ANYTIME XBOX PS3 BBC IPLAYER NETFLIX STB | eBay

Configure the dongle on a laptop/PC then plug into the sky ethernet port and use the USB flying lead to get power from the Skybox.

Note the text in the aution though: PLS BE WARE THAT SOME SKY BOXES HAVE LOCKED USB PORTS SO AN EXTERNAL POWER ADAPTER MAY BE REQUIRED TO POWER THE BRIDGE, OR POWER BY 5V~15V EXTENAL DC POWER ADAPTER.

I set my Brother's Sony TV up with one of these, much cheaper than buying the propriety Sony USB Wireless dongle.
