Don't bother with eBay, get one new from Argos for £19.99 which includes a 6 month entertainment pass.

I don't need the telly as I have Sky, but a cheap standalone box would be good.

Solved my problem, put the old router on the line

Ha! Cowards way out

I haven't given up on it yet, just need to find something that I can get to use with the monitor.

When I did get the monitor briefly working, it showed a heavily saturated connection, with the current router it is showing a much better, smoother connection.

I have bought a new Now TV box today (under £20 with a 6 month pass), but it may be going back. I have plugged it in via ethernet to the HH6, added it to the DMZ, but am still getting nothing back to the monitor Is there something I am not doing? (I haven't set the box up with an account yet, could that be the issue?)

Still really struggling to understand why putting a device in the dmz doesn't work, when others have success?? Am I supposed to add a port forwarding rule for it?

Anyway a couple of screenshots of 1:

Is there anything wrong there, or is there something else I should be doing? Only persevering as I know it is supposed to work.

Have you tried pinging the box from your PC?

How do I do that please? Is it as simple as ping 192.168.1.254?
