    The DONGLE will connect box to router wirelessly so P.C. doesn't need
    to be in same room as box,once it's in same house it will hook up O.K
    BELKIN dongle works with dream 500 so try other dongles before you
    spend on STVU dongle

    Eamo, would you have a link to the Belkin one by any chance ? Can only find USB dongles?
    I take it the USB connection on the starview one supplies the power to the dongle ?

    Belkin dongle is USB type, needs LAN-USB adaptor to work on dreambox.
    Have not seen STVU dongle but assume it connects to LAN & not USB port.

    It appears to have a USB plug and a DC type plug as well as the RJ45, was thinking it must take the power from the USB on the box to power the dongle, as there would be no power from the RJ45 socket on the box.

    LAN will not supply power. USB gives 5V. Am at a loss to explain why a seperate power connection is required as USB should supply the necessary power? can anyone clarify

    Was thinking maybe you can use an external power supply, instead of using the USB socket on the box. Just so you can use a USB drive with the box. ?

    I imagine using external 5V supply you need LAN-USB adaptor to connect network to box, to keep USB-port free for recording programs.
    Would be helpful if SV6 had 5V jack to connect power to dongle.

    You have the choice of either powering it using the USB or an external power supply so as you say you can still use the USB port for recording etc.

    So you connect the LAN cable to the receiver for communication and the USB for power unless you have the external supply which means the USB connector becomes redundant
