I have had some Panasonic HD-PLC adapters for some time. I currently only use one of them for my Tivo simply because the living room is the only room in the house that can get a solid connection to the powerline network. I used one adapter in the basement and the signal was extremely slow and would drop out all the time. When I moved my office upstairs, there was no signal at all in any room. It really all depends on what circuits you have in your house. You could have one level running on one circuit and the second level running on another circuit. Since they're separate circuits, they can't talk to each other at all. So yeah, powerline is a cool concept, but I much prefer wifi for anywhere connectivity.
