10/100mbs according to DMM website

100Mbps should be more than enough for streaming HD video.

Blu-ray tops out at something like 48Mbps.

TBH until the core chips are changed putting a 1Gbps port on a sat receiver is pointless as the processors are unlikely to keep up with the port and be able to run the rest of the box at the same time.

I have tried streaming HD but my 85mb homeplugs aren't up to the job, hard wired would be the way to go I think.

I hear you, I have a couple of them. Work great for general internet and the like, but with large file transfers they suffer. Still faster than wireless though :smilielol5:

I know a few people who have success with HD streaming across the Homeplug A/Vs (200Mbps) but if you can run a cable I'd run one.

make sure your 1GB router/switch has auto speed detection 10/100/1000 mbps, seen routers/switches that handle only 1 gbps. HD streaming on 100 mbps can be done, over a 1 gbps you have some spare headroom for other traffic. Over 100 mbps HD streaming halted sometimes, now with all my 100 mbps ports (flatscreen + receiver) connected over a 1000 mbps it is OK. in my case DLNA streaming to Samsung flatscreen and GB filetransfers from Usb harddrive on Technomate 6900 HD Super to 1 gbps port on computer.

My question was going to be do you have a Gigabit router not much good without one :)

Could not agree more, for the price difference. recently had to replace my defective 100 mbps 3-com switch with a 1 gbps neatgear GS108 and put the cat6 cables in place, only computers have 1 gbps. The vdsl2 WAN has a 20 mbps and the modem/router 100 mbps out. When the last mile is replaced by Fibre to Home, I don't have to replace the home network again.
