powerline

I have used the powerline solution since day one,
since,
1. I am not as small as ScottC so I cannot get through my crawlspace!
2. I tried wireless, but not a HUGE fan of having to setup the bridge, and never got the level of reliability that I experienced with the powerline.
4. My wireless router goes off on a schedule, which I don't like having to open and close to use the slingplayer.
3. Found the powerline devices for 50-60$ a pair, and for the money you cannot beat the throughput. I am just waiting for the 200MB version to be released (soon) so we can do real HD over powerline.
