As long as your NTL 250 modem has an ethernet port (I believe it has 1), then you should be able to connect your TV directly. However, you may want to get a switch (rather than a router), to extend the number of available ethernet ports so that you can plug in TV and a PC.

Thanks for your help on this. This helped a lot and I finally got i-Player working on the TV. I was trying the whole thing out before I considered how to get the signal from the modem to the TV for day-to-day use, so I was unplugging the ethernet cable from the modem to the PC, and plugging it in to the TV instead. One tip for anyone else doing similar- the modem needs re-setting (by pulling out the power cable) each time you plug in something different.
