Is the smart TV wired or wifi? (I can't work out what is connected to what.) I use wired Powerline for my smart BluRay player. I never see any buffering.

Thanks for reply.
My set up is as follows.
Sony Smart Tv connected by cable to Humax Sat Box.
Humax Sat Box connected by Ethernet Cable to Powerline 500 Adapter in Mains Socket.
Netgear Broadband Router Box connected by Ethernet Cable to Powerline Adapter in Mains Socket ( in another room).
Hope this explains.

No Internet connection for the smart TV? I would have expected LAN or wireless.

Hi Michael:
The Internet connection for my Sony TV is achieved by
an Ethernet cable running from Powerline 500 Adapter into the back of the Humax Satellite Box.
Humax Satellite Box then has a cable link into back of TV.
Hope this explains set up ok.
Apologies I am not more technically savy !
