This is such a good idea. This idea needs a patent as someone will steal this idea and use it to make a few bucks.

Hi

Do you mean you want a powerline as an alternative to a wireless network? I'm assuming you want to use these with media center extenders or something?

There are several available. I'd look for a powerline forum or something. All I know if some Netgear powerlines had to be recalled due to overheating / fire hazard a month or so ago.

Why don't you just have some digital aerials installed? I had two done a few months ago for about £175. There's a confederation of reputable aerial installers if you're interested, you can find local members at this website: www.cai.org.uk

The only thing you need to check is that they'll make the cabling neat outside your house, and that they'll put socket boxes in your walls rather than just loose ends of cable.

PS. The Kat5 link requires existing Cat5 cabling throughout your house, it's not exactly a great solution if you're not wired already!

I offer IT support services to various businesses including a large hotel. From time to time web access in 'hard to wireless' locations is required.

I'm not pimping a product but I have used a pair of

Solwise PL-200AV for more than a year and have found them to work brilliantly... and over a much larger distance than in a normal house.

They can be affected by running too many noisy electrical devices at the same time - vacuum cleaners, hair dryers etc.
