Interesting site....thanks for that!

However, one thing I read there is that performance is seriously degraded if Homeplug devices are plugged into extension blocks rather than directly into the wall. The house I live in is old and doesn't have a lot of dedicated wall sockets, meaning I use extension blocks for just about everything (for example in my bedroom I have 4 dedicated sockets to power TV, video, DVD, lamp x 2, PC x 2, monitor x 2, speakers, printer, hi-fi, heater/fan, charging socket for iPod, phone, etc, etc). So I'm pretty much reliant on extension blocks, and to use a single wall socket for a single device would mean hanging even more devices on the remaining sockets which I'm not sure I'd be too keen on...
