its best to keep it away from the tv if you can. buy a long ethernet cable

far as possible. not extreme just in its own space where you dont think other close by electrical signals will interfere

I used to have mine directly underneath the tv, the wireless transmissions effected the tv picture, when looking at areas like the corner where the vm logo is on the v+ you could see jitter

so how far from the tv do you have your hub now ?

I moved mine into the cupboard under the stairs, lol because I had to have all my cabling rewired. Was more suitable there because it's roughly in the middle of the house now.

So it's now 4-5 meters away roughly

I have a Panasonic 50" TV
My Super Hub sits about 3" below and 12" to the left (as viewed) sitting parallel (inline) to the screen

I've never had any issues with any wireless router sitting there

Furthermore, I have metal foil in the corner to reflect wireless transmission back into the room (in effect back towards the TV) so that as little as possible is lost through the outside walls
The Freeview TV aerial is then on the opposite side of the TV and directly behind the right hand speaker just out of view

Don't the flashing lights disturb you?

The equipment is hidden behind a computer, that also sits to the left of the TV, and the left hand edge of the TV table unit
