How best to connect my TV to the internet

[rhinochopig]

I've ordered a Panny V10 and whilst waiting for it to arrive, I'm slowly sorting all the other bits and bobs.

Apparently this TV can be connected to the internet via a Ethernet cable, which I'd quite like to do. The problem is my router is on the other side of the house and I don't want start running cables that far.

So is there another option? Can I connect two routers together wireless or would it be better to use a set of those pulgs that use your ring main as a network?

We've been using the plugs that use your mains as a network extension to connect a PC out of wireless range to our network for the best part of 2 years and they've been reliable.

As said the Power-line / Ethernet over power adapters work fine

I've a BThomehub wireless router upstairs and my PannyV10 downstairs.

They are networked them with one of these:

Panny is hardwired to the buffalo box by ethernet.

I've also got connected to this the PS3 and a Buffalo Linkstation media player. So when watching video streamed from the linkstation via the PS3 everything is hard wired so nice and fast.

Works well for me.

Funky, is it worth the trouble re the V10? Do you find you access the internet via the TV?

To be honest no, I don't use the TV for internet very often. There's not much on the Viera Cast at the moment. I have a wireless laptop connected to the TV so I use that for internet.

Also, the DNLA compatibility doesn't work with most of my vidoes and pictures. So I use the PS3 for media playing - which can also be wireless.
