Trying to connect TV to interent

[SRuddmonkey]

Hello everyone

I've just bought a Sony Bravia KLD32ex403 tv for the bedroom, mainly because I wanted to be able to access BBC IPlayer etc on it since I don't have Sky upstairs. I have a wireless router and which I use for my laptop with my Sky account. I have an old NETGEAR USB which I used to use with my old laptop but it's been in a drawer for a while since I bought my new laptop.

I thought I would be able to use this USB to connect the tv to my home network but the tv just keeps saying that it doesn't recognise the usb and won't let me get any further with it.

Am I doing something wrong, am I using the wrong hardware or do I need to do something else via the laptop to set it up?

I don't want to have to link up the laptop to the tv all the time.

If anyone has any answers to my problem, please help, my knowledge is very limited.

Thanks

Hi

You'd need to either get the Sony dongle  - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-UWABR100-Bringing-Wireless-Internet/dp/B0036XX4G0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qi... or a set of Homeplugs http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=homeplugs&x=0... to connect the device to the web.

Thanks
