[mythtvnz] Home ethernet over power ?

[Arjan Harre]

Hi

Frst time I have seen them ... cool idea. I couldn't see the old wire 
fuse stop the but the newer circuit breakers might. An RCD would almost 
definately stop it, as might a surge protector. I installed a home 
automation system a few years back that send all its data via the power 
and lighting feeds and that had to have the equivalent of a router at 
the Distro board so it went to all the different circuits. It seemed to 
work very well. Never got called back to it so I guess it must have 
worked until I left that company about a year later. :)

Sorry I can't be of more help.
