FAO pens people

I asked the chap in charge of IT installation at Git Towers to make sure that we could watch internet TV, which I thought meant (to avoid wireless speed issues)making sure that an ethernet cable could connect to the TV from the router

I have received this answer, which seems too good to be true to me

"What people tend to use is the Home Ethernet Adaptors , these units connect to your wireless hub via a network cable , you then plug the cable into an adaptor which plugs into your electrical ring main , you then have another adaptor at the other end plugged into a socket by the TV , that unit is then plugged into the web via a network cable , so in other words your electrical ring main is being used to distribute the network , i have used the SOLWISE 85 MBPS HOME PLUG ETHERNET UNIT it worked well , and this system could be used to connect all the TV sets in the house, and it does not matter where the main hub is in the house"

What is the verdict of the Wrath?
