I currently connect via Wi-Fi from my Computer to the Modem at the 
Phoneline Wall socket then via the Telco lines to my ISP.

In a previous incarnation, I had a Dongle hanging directly out of a USB 
socket on the Computer. That Dongle (2.5GB/5GB signal) connected 
directly into a Telco System which then carried my signal to my ISP.

So, sort of similar, I was thinking this T.V. Dongle would have been 
doing something similiar .... pulling the signal straight out of the Air 
and not using my Internet signal.
