By default it downscales by quite some way though - change the resolution settings to whatever your screen is running at on your 360 if you haven't already

I'd like to have non-WiFi solution to my workshop.. Although I get a decent reception, at times the signal drops and is not that reliable.

I have thought about running some CAT5 cable to the workshop, then have a switch inside so I can plug other PCs into.

That said, Home Plug Ethernet would be great. The trouble I have is that the power in the workshop and the home have their own RCDs but are on the same meter. So I'm not sure if they are on the same circuit. My guess is that they are but it would be too expensive to findout that they don't work.

As I'm sure a few of you are aware video is a right PITA as it is very sensitive to packet loss which is inherent in wireless. If you are serious about home based wireless video then Ruckus do some very good video specific wireless kit though I'm not sure if they deal with the general public or only with service providers.

Personally I'm not a great fan of powerline adaptors as most houses have upstairs/downstairs on different rings meaning that you either need to route cables or add in a wireless bridge to use it properly.

I was running two freeview streams simultaneously over my powerline yesterday. Accidentally, but it was good to see it worked.

Surely in your case Huddy wireless would be better, you only need it to one place so you coluld use a directional antenna and get an easy 54mbs with the equipment you've already bought.

If i was in your situtaion though i probably would have just thrown cat5 in anyway with a switch...
