Thanks michael, i have pretty decent broadband (200GB) but if i need a booster i know how to do it now:) 

thanks 

You are welcome but I don't understand what you mean by 200GB in relation to the connections :).

I should add that you need to have the antenna installed otherwise wifi won't work since there is no built-in antenna in the TV. I installed the antenna just because of precaution, in case my ethernet-cable breaks down.  

hi millemissen, 

 i have power line and master link running to my bedroom cos i have  a Beocentre Tv there now... but no internet cable running upstairs to my bedroom. I guess i may need to do that. I HATE cables lol 

Hi michael, 

 I mean i have 200gb Wifi in the house. i do run an ethernet cable from modem to my sitting room TV Beovision 11-46, but cos I'm only using a Beocentre in my bedroom I've never had a internet cable run upstairs.... however i do have Sky cable and masterlink in place , so i guess if i want 100% connections. best to run an ethernet and also use an antenna as u r doing...

Do you mean 200 mbit? I would also suggest ethernet cable for your TV since the wireless speed will be slower and the connection less stable depending on the distance. As you can see on my picture I have a split ethernet cable for both V1 and Apple TV in one since both units just have 100 mbit ethernet (which is sufficient for the units). so you can run two ethernet lines over one cable. If you want :).

MMs suggestion about homeplugs is not bad either but it might work bad on long or bad cables, especially over different fusing boxes. It might also work bad when there is a lot of interference on the electrical grid, as when a microwave oven is used for example.

I did not know you could do that !

Is it a simple Y split for each line/thread inside the cable ?

Or are you using separate lines within a fully populated cable ?

I hope that makes sense -- I am not sure it does to me and I'm the one asking the questions !

Well for 100mbit ethernet you just use two pairs of wires. For 1000 mbit you would use all four pairs. 

What you do is to use two pairs for each of the devices and connect them accordingly. When the cables are made the right way you would end up with two ends in each end of the cable and each pair would be independent of each other. If you can terminate category 5/6 cables yourself then its easy to do. Otherwise you can buy splitters to do the same thing but they also take up some space.

Youre welcome! 🙂
