Sky Multiroom and Homeplugs

    Apologies if some of this has been covered already. I've just ordered Sky HD with multi room and I don't want to run a phone cable to either box as its just too messy. I was looking at the wireless phonejack in Maplin to do both boxes. I will buy an extra receiver to do the other box. Couple of questions:

    1. Will there be any issues with HD or Sky+ using one of these? I had read that they don't work very well with these phonejacks but don't understand why this would be the case.
    2. Is there any was I could use a homeplug (broadband connection) for these boxes instead as it might be useful for broadband elsewhere in the house?

    Cheers.

    No, HomePlug devices are for creating data networks - they can't extend an analogue phone line.

    It is not a homeplug you require this is for a broadband connection, but there is a similar product for telephone systems.

    Two manufacturers that i am aware of

    Phonejak...will work perfect....95% sucess rate with them

    One for all - unreliable in my opinon.
