[mythtvnz] Home ethernet over power ?

[Dean Pemberton]

I know someone who has an ethernet over power link to his downstairs 
office.  I was talking to him on VoIP (not skype, but the real thing) 
over it the other day.
So it looks like it works fine =)

I think same power circuit means 'same phase'.  At least thats the 
restriction that my X10 stuff has as well.
