Impossible on your own though. One of you to push the rod through, the other to try and grab it on other end. I think it's worth it though.

I don't like powerline adapters either having tried two different types that only ran at a fraction of their claimed speed and were unreliable. Even 500mbps claimed stuff was slow. In a small house or on the same ring they run OK, but wifi usually works in that situation.
EddScott that looks great. Wife and I have got quite good at getting cables where they really shouldn't be able to go in C shaped building with lots of tiny attics (we fish them down from attics between the stone outer wall and the timber kit inside) but yours is another league.

A mate of mine has set up a powerline ethernet network in his house. He says he doesn't like the idea of loads of wifi radio signals zipping about all the time. He has small kids.

I have been using powerline adaptors since the old 80mbps ones and have never had any throughput issues, although the older ones sometimes disconnected. The only time I have seen issues with the throughput was when I was sharing the bandwidth with another user on the powerline network which is the same with wired.
Wireless always has issues with range, dropped connections requiring a reboot (likely windows or hardware related).

I recently got one and thought I would chuck a lord of the rings full hd through it, handles it fine, it does skip frames if you go back out to the menus though whilst the film is playing (which you have no reason to do)

Didn't spend anything like a grand on mine, NAS is connected directly to my router which can also take a USB drive and use it as a NAS, XBMC on the HTPC runs a dual core 2.2ghz Intel cpu on an Asus P5 motherboard with Onboard Graphics, Blu-ray drive and uses old components from a PC I upgraded for the rest in a Silverstone Case with media remote. Using 200mbps homeplugs to connect around the house.
