    Could anyone help me out please? I've seen two plugs that power a dreambox and a wireless router.They eliminate the use of a cable to watch my Dreambox as everything is done through the electricty points.They are available to buy on ebay as a friend has showed me them i just can't remember what they are called. Does anyone know what they are called? I think they cost around £100 on ebay...;)

    I guess you mean Homeplug devices.

    Devolo seem to be well recommended. Make sure they're Homeplug certified, as some aren't, if you intend maybe adding further similar devices to other rooms in the future.

    You better go wireless by using adapter like this http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/WET54G Connect Dreambox to it and than it wirelesly connects to any of your wireless routers. This way is also little bit cheaper.

    I bought mine from here
    http://www.solwise.ie/net-powerline-pl-85pe.htm
    Took about a week to deliver.
    Works great.

    I have no connection to the company selling them BTW.
