Valerie: Assuming that you have a router with Wifi, the cheapest option is to buy an Edimax Wifi stick from Amazon, official name 'Wireless nLite High Gain USB Adapter' type EW-7711UAN which will couple to the Wifi at 150Mbps which is fast enough for ordinary BB at 6-8 Mbps. It comes with a nice remote mount which you can tuck behind the TV. Plug it into either the Front or rear USB Socket on the Humax (I used the front originally because the Humax didn't recognise the stick at the back at first. No problem subsequently).
Navigate to the Internet Page on the Humax and select the connect by Wifi option, select your network from those you can see and put in your Wifi password (should be WPA2 type). It requires the latest Humax Software of June/July 2010 from memory. Mine also seemed to require to download and install an additional file from Humax first.You'll know the stick is working as the green access light will start flashing when you are downloading. Do note that as the Humax is a Linux Box it will not accept a password with spaces in it!
The web offering are not very wide with only the reduced iPlayer being of much use to me. Still no sign of 4OD or ITVPlayer yet! It's a bit clunky and you cannot just connect to your ISP home page or anything like that!
