    yes, I have the devolo dlan (which is homeplug compatible).

    At first I used the 80mb device, but when I swiched my system to HD i bought the 200mb device, wich is working flawless in my config.
    I have a net throughput of about 60mb which is enough for HD videos and Streaming.

    My NAS is located in the basement (Qnap-201) and is connected via a fritzbox 7170 to the homeplug adapter.

    My power lines are about 10 years old, just for info.

    cheers

    I'm using the Netgear av 200 and I can stream HD between both. Of course it will be highly dependant on cable length, noise level on the line and cable quality. Good luck with your setup.

    to be on the safe side... if you want to stream HD you should use the 200mb device. I often had stuttering in hd movies with the 85 mbit, thats why I bought the 200mb one.

    But be adviced: those devices (85/200) are not compatible, even though they can be used in parallel.

    cheers

    I'm using Homeplug AV (200mbps) ZyXEL myself (P660HWP router and 2 x PLA-401 adaptors). Router lovely and neat with onboard Homeplug AV but general configuration not very intuitive! PLA adaptors easy to use. Figured might as well go for Homeplug AV even though MP Client is just streaming standard definition TV; AV meant to have improved resilience to noise as well as improved speed.
    Once set up have had no problems at all, adaptors don't get too warm; router gets quite warm.
    AV gives extra headroom for additional MP Clients (hope, hope!!).

In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    It is possible to have both MP1 and MP2 installed on the same drive (I have a test partition with just such an arrangement). However... The TV Server parts of MP1 and MP2 start when the system boots, and TV Server runs all of the time, even when it is not recording and live TV is not being viewed. If both TV Servers were active, they...
