BB router next to TV?
Just tried Anytime+ and I think its really good but had to run a temporary cable 18m to try it out. Can't make the cable permanent so could go wireless at a cost of £60 but thought about moving the router.Would this be OK next to the TV,Wii,HD box,Video sender,CD player and speakers etc or will there be interference?
If its OK I would need to use the telephone line into the HD box for the router as well, can I get an adaptor with a modem socket one side and 2 on the other? Is this possible or do I have to go wireless? In fact is the Sky wireless connector any good?
Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I would not advise running the Sky router from the same extension that the receiver is connected too, this is usually a cheap extension lead and may cause your speeds to suffer.
A better option may be homeplugs, much better than wireless.

Why does the hd box need a phone line anyway if the box is linked to the router?

The modem in the box serves a different purpose, mainly to allow you to use the interactive services like Box office. If you only have one box, just unplug it, Sky will not bother. If you have multi room, then all boxes must be plugged in at all times so the Sky can check they are being used properly.
You should really keep your router plugged into the master socket for the best performance.
