Using Orbi with Netgear D7800 and BT Infinity+BT Sports

I don't believe that you can use a satellite + D7800 without an Orbi router, you need both the RBR50 + RBS50.
Regarding the BT sports on the BT TV box - this is a multicast IPTV so you might struggle to get this working reliably by plugging the bt box into the satellite. Remember that the satellite-2-router link is done over wifi and multicast and wifi don't play well together. It might work but you might get a lot of picture breakup. Really the bt-box should be connected directly via ethernet to the router.
I have my BT-TV box in a different room to the Orbi router. I connect via a long cat6 cable that is hidden under the skirting.
