So .......  you plug this into the back of the recorder, put the WiFi code in (somehow  ) and you can watch Youtube on your telly   

Yup, bit slow on my Wi Fi though.

Thanks. Something I might well consider. 

Research I did suggests that the dongle route can give patchy results depending on installation, distance from router, type of router, type of dongle etc., so I have just ordered a pair of Solwise passthrough homeplugs for £52 inclusive, as described here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/networking-nas/731564-homeplug-faq.html. As you can see these also have limitations. I will advise on my results.

My tv is connected wifi to my router and has no issues with connectivity......personally i think if the tv wasnt connected over wifi and wanted to know how good connectivity was going to be where the Humax was going to sit, I would have placed my lappy there and tried copying a 200mb-300mb file accross the network from the lappy.....save spending £52 when possibly a £5 usb wifi dongle would work, imo

Fair point, but mine is to connect to my desktop through two brick walls. Friends with similar setups have had mixed results with dongles.
