Hope someone can help,

Is there anyway i can connect my sky box to my broadband over wifi instead of by wire as my broadband is in a different room than sky box, want to be able to use anytime and recording and plus details from my iPad.

No. Wired only. Moot as Anytime+ does not yet work in Ireland. No other service on the box right now requires broadband - regular Anytime included.

If and when that time comes, you can use 'Powerline' to get connectivity to your Sky box.

I don't follow your comment re: iPad....

Then Powerline is your man. My iPad and iPhone works for remote record without broadband connectivity. You need a fixed landline for that to work.

I think he is more talking about the new functionality of the ipad app where you can use it as a remote control as such more then the remote record facility.

But ye networking plugs are probably your best bet

I read somewhere that they cause horrendous radio interference from the mains wiring acting like a huge aerial.
