TV box alongside android box - internet connections

[MisterB]

Hi, ive just purchased an android box (its sat at home waiting for me to get back!) and want to set it up alongside my H2S - for those of you with similar set ups, do you have separate dedicated internet connections for them both or do you use a splitter or even a hub of some sort - I would liketo be able to switch from one to the other with no faffing about but still keep them both 'live' in case of recording etc?

Ethernet from each box to router should do.

I'm assuming that's a powered hub? so if run one cable from the router to this, then I can connect up to 8 separate devices? but will it supply more than one device at a time or does it switch to whichever one is in use? as I said, I would like both devices to be on line at the same time.

It will supply all 8 at once. You should be able to pick a 4 port one up for around £10. I would say your android box would be fine on wifi though or you can just run 2 ethernet cables from your router?
