    They will not work together ie one of each, you can use both if you have a pair of each and they will not interfere much with each other.

      Homeplugs are supposed to be compatable with each other.

      Homeplug & Powerline are all members of an Alliance.

              Just out of curiosity what speed would u need to run a cv 780 as I have seen 85mps and 200mps on ebay and there is quite a difference in price between the 2 of them especially if you need several.

              Would the 85mps give you a stutter free signal ?

                For what data is transferred 10mps would be ample so any will be ok.

                  Thanks for that DW190 after reading a few more posts I got a couple of packs of 200 mps ones from Ebuyer (?35 for 2) so I would have backward compatability when I network my hard drive with movies around the house

                  I was just curious how much of the signal came down the lan as I assume that is only doing the same job as a card would in a standard box
