Plumbed it in. I can now watch Sin! The OSG's are rather HUGE after watching Rampants stream but hey I'll live with it. Saturday with Beth shall be awesome.

For those interested I bought the Manhattan plaza set top box from Argos. £50

Happy Days.

The box doesn't have WiFi does it ? I read on trusted reviews it only has an Ethernet connection. So near yet so far.

Fraud not chief. Just the Ethernet connection.

Online research tells me internet speed in my area is too slow for streaming TV, it seems I am thwarted at every turn. Is seeing Beth on my telly too much to ask for ?

try speedtest.net see what your results are first anything over 2mbps and you should be fine for streaming

I've tried that and the results aren't great, depending on the time of day I can be as low as 0.5 and at it's best around1.5 Mbps, the speed in our area is so bad the local paper have started a campaign about it. Looks like I will have to bite the bullet and join sky.

blimey i was gettting more than that 10 years ago

No, I can't get Virgin, my sister who lives just 15 miles away is with them and gets download speeds ten times faster than mine and a brilliant mobile deal thrown in as well

Not bothered if you all laugh but I'm on TalkTalk tried virgin and they were rubbish at the time then BT

Just tried on my smart TV to watch if we n FV and it works really shocked as these types of channels don't normally work
