The Panorama program has been efficiently (IMO) debunked by the excellent badscience.net on the grounds that the 'experiments' were scientifically worthless and te engineer behind them has a lucrative sideline in expensive anti Wi-Fi devices, paints etc. Do yourself a favour and read the article before you do anything drastic.

As for the original question, those wireless extenders are to extend wireless, obviously, so they do transmit and receive. I assume there's a similar thing you can get that isn't wireless, just with a Cat5 socket?
Also I'd suggest putting some wet toilet roll around your head to stop the CIA from reading your thoughts.

Originally posted by css_jay99Hi, I have a query on homeplugs/wireless extenders
I have a few wireless products at home and all perform well.
In light of a program on the Tv this week regrading the dangers of wireless connections on kids, i have decided to be proactive and remove any wireless products from the house.
My current wiress products are :
1) 2 laptops with wireless connection
2) 2 desktops with wireless connection
3) 2 Philips wireless TV receiver/broadcaster
4) Wireless ADSL router/moderm
5) Bluetooth Moderm
6) Xbox 360, PS3, PSP
I came across a few homeplug/wireless extenders on the net and dont seem to know if these products are actually using mains supply to extend ethernet connectivity or is it just a case that they are infact small wireless products that are mains powered
Please can anyone shed light on this. For instance will I be able to buy a NON-wireless ADSL Router and then buy these homeplugs to use for connectivity.
The main thing is that I need to know if these homeplugs are actually wireless products
cheers

For a home network solution I think you can use something called xten, that plugs into sockets and you have the software running on a desktop somewhere that controls it all, but that's about all I know

Originally posted by ArdescoYou have already lost half the bass and treble if you are using MP3 format so it probably won't make much difference either way. Considering you are listening to music that is heavy on bass and treble i'm surprised you are storing them in MP3 format....
what format do you suggest ?. Wav is too big

Originally posted by css_jay99my question is, is there a huge difference with feedig an amp with digital / phono inputs. I am always of the opinion that digital input amps are best for peolple that listing to classical/acoustic music as compared to someone like me that listens to Rnb, rap, pop, drum & base which heavily depends on bass and treble. bear in mind that all my music is on my HDD in mp3 format (192kpbs). would i benefit from digital input or its more for an audio freak
any one here got a sonos misic system ?
cheers

Originally posted by css_jay99I find that difficult to belive it works via electricity.
I am no scientist but Here is my theory (might be wrong of course!)
As far as electricity wiring goes, each zone of the house (i.e bathroom/kitchen/upstairs/downstairs wall sockets, bathroom ....)
are all usually isolated and connected separately in a fusebox (in the house).
For electricity to pass from point A to B, it is a fact that there must me a current as well as a wired connection between those two points
Giving the statements above, then how the heck could there exist an ethernet connection between wall sockects on different fuses in a fuse box?, It just dos not make sence
anyone care to explain ?
