just bought 2 dvd players with youtube access so i need something to plug into the back of it to receive internet signal.
at the moment i have a cable running from my sky box to my modem, but would rather have the wireless adaptors.
the ones i've seen all have usb connections on them, whereas the hole is more like this:
any ideas? i'm terrible at technology so i apologise in advance if i'm being retarded.

Get a wifi bridge of eBay. Cost about 20 quid and work a treat
But you need a physical laptop/pc to set it up on

Plug one in near your router and one near your DVD Player then connect up the network cables are you're away. You can get ones with multiple ethernet sockets on them too so you can plug your DVD player and Sky box in to the same adaptor.

Can get dongles for as little as a tenner now, but as above I can't recommend homeplugs enough, working a treat for me.
