Powerline Networking - Which to choose?

[Conanius]

I'm needing to get a powerline networking kit to link my XBOX 360 in my bedroom to the HTPC in the front room. This is so I can use the media centre and stream the live TV, recorded TV etc. I've tried the XBOX 360wireless connector and it just cant sustain enough bandwidth to work.

I've been looking on the OCUK site and I think these (link below) should be suitable. Interested to hear if you guys think they will be up to the job.

Ideally I want to order these today in time for my new TV's.... so hurry !

Many Thanks

Should be fine, probably more than you need for the xbox etc unless you are streaming HD files. The units are pretty big so make sure they dont block other sockets off if you need them.

I generally prefer homeplug technology units, netgear dont state which technology they use, powerline used to be a separate technology but the term is often confusingly applied.

So long as you stick to one technology they will do a sterling job.

d-links are cheaper using same technology

Due to a last minute road trip only just got back in....

It may well end up streaming HD content, but surely 100mbit if it manages to sync that high (200mbit suggested) should be more than enough?

Homeplug technology you say... could you give me any examples of units that do that, and what sort of performance + price difference I would be looking at?
