I have just received my BT homehub and TV vision, which has the a different type, and two are need - one at the master socket the oether at the vision box. Is there any way I can get the two difeferent types of adapter to recognise each other, as currently I can have either braodband and no BT vision or vice versa. Any help MUCH appreciated!

I use it for everything, network, phones, remote hi-fi speakers (it's also apparent how much faster in the real world it is compared to WiFi). The one thing that bothers me about mains-delivered networking is the potential for electromagnetic interference (the untwisted, unshielded mains cables make great antennas), but then again I do spend time mucking about with electronics which is not something everyone does.

I expect you won't get anywhere near 200Mps, though. But maybe houses should come with structured CAT5e as standard now, anyway. I use Develo ones and they work really well.
