Have one of these boxes and had a USB adapter in for WiFi. The young fella broke it the other night so looking to replace it. Anyone know if I need to get a specific WiFi adapter or will a tplink or netgear type work?

Ralink RT5370 is the chipset and is very common.

Get one that has an aerial on it. The little usb stick ones are crap.

Anyone having a problem with the EPG and date at 25/11/1903? Seems a very common problem and not really any solution over the net.
