What happens if the TV is in a different room to the broadband gateway/router?
Short answer: use HomePlug. There are three options for solving this problem, as all set-top boxes require a simple Ethernet connection for basic operation. The first is to place your router next to the TV. The second is to provide Ethernet cabling from wherever the router is (usually the hall or study) to the TV. The third, and most elegant solution is to use HomePlug (14-200Mbit/s) broadband over powerline technology to extend the connectivity to every room in the house. In this scenario, 1 adaptor would be plugged in next to the central router, and the other by the television, invisibly connecting the two.
