Sky's new Wireless Connector gives you the freedom to connect to On Demand wirelessly at the great new price of £21.95 - perfect if your Sky+ box and broadband router are in different rooms.

Your Wireless Connector unlocks all the features of On Demand - all you need is Sky TV, a compatible black Sky+ box and a fast enough broadband connection.

You can buy the new Wireless Connector directly from Sky's official website.

The 'buy' link does not seem to be working, its coming up with - http://tidd.ly/44237c40 which is not recognised?

Now there's a thing, when I click the link I posted, it works.

Now both links work

Is this 802.11n?

This is the original version which is 802.11g I believe. Once they have sold out the new version is 802.11n and the same price so it might be worth waiting a little longer to make a purchase.

But the picture above shows the new connector, different to the one shown on the Sky help video

With a suitable cable can the RF2 output (magic eye supply) be used to power the Anytime+ wireless adaptor?

I'm sure I saw a post somewhere that this was used to power a small fm transmitter to enable Sky radio stations to be listened to on a normal radio.

We have already reported the problem with the links. We use affiliate links, as we are not supposed to link directly to a normal Sky URL (although some do filter through by people posting them etc) they are built up for us using a link generator. Obviously they are not resolving properly somewhere along the line so will be fixed asap we have been told.

Absolutely no idea, we have asked for one for review for the forum and it's members, so is something we can try and find the answer to, at some point, hopefully.

I don't think so, according to the spec it requires a 12v connection. I think the maximum output from the RF2 is 9v, although I could be wrong.

Saves us a job then.
