Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help with the following.

I use a powerlin adaptor, which I plug my homehub into the wall, and on the other side of the room, next to my tv, the other powerline plug comes out and an ethernet cable plugs into my BT vision box.
This all works fine, but I also have my Xbox 360 next to the TV and at the moment when I want to play the 360 online I switch the cables over. The only time this is a problem is if I'm recording something on the BT box and wish to play online games.
I was wondering about using a splitter, but I know that the signal can't be split, so would the following work?;
From my home hub, I plug two ethernet cables into a splitter and plug that end into the powerline adaptor, then from the adaptor next to my tv, I use another splitter. Basically I'm wondering if the powerline can carry two signals from the homehub?
I have been considering getting a 360 wireless adaptor, but they cost like £60.
