    Hi,

    I have netflix using Nintendo Wii in the living room

    In the kitchen we have Saorview and freeset on a Ferguson Ariva 150 set top box.

    I see from the Ferguson Ariva manual that if I have a Wifi dongle (Ralink 5370) I can connect to the internet over Wifi.

    So I'm wondering if anyone can advise if I get a Wifi dongle (Ralink 5370) can I stream netflix to the television ?

    Thanks in advance

    No answers as yet.... but I have another idea: if I buy a wifi media streaming device such as Roku

    Can I plug that into the TV hdmi or the red / yellow / white cables ?

    Then can I get netflix into the TV ?

    Regards,

    Yes, as long as whatever device you get supports Netflix

    I'm pretty sure the Ariva 150 does not support Netflix, so yeah, go with a Roku, Apple TV or WDTV Live, etc.

    The Ariva 250 has Netflix in it's menu, will it work?
    I'm about to purchase a dongle fir this same reason.

    Oh, I could be wrong so! I never noticed it on the Ariva 150 though, unless a s/w update added it.

    Could you not stick an ethernet cable temporarily into the 250 to try it first, before splashing out on the wifi dongle?
