A quick google search for HomePlug shows many indepth reviews of the technology where they explain how it works and why you see the drastic differences in speed. <br><br>Take a lesson from Toms Hardware. <br><br>Jim ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Honeywell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 3rd 2006 9:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comment Jim. You're absolutely correct, Netgear doesn't specifically state it supports HD, however, they do indicate it supports the Slingbox, indicating it's use can be geared towards digital video. We were well aware of the HomePlug limitations and nuances, but the fact is: the device doesn't even come close to the advertised speed unless in the same room. If you were going to network two devices in the same room, you should consider connecting both to a wired router for a full 100Mbps.<br><br>Additionally, our 802.11a and g routers don't specifically state they support HD either, but they do simply becauase they provide the needed bandwidth. Many folks will consider the XE104 for video streaming for the same reason and all we're suggesting is that they carefully consider what we saw in our real usage test.<br><br>Thanks!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin C.

It would be nice to hear what they can be used for and not just where we cant. Fair and balanced.. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 3rd 2006 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just want to point out that AV200 Powerline is already out based on the new UPA standard and available on the market from Corinex Communications at 200Mbps, with real throughput of 70-80Mbps. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norbert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2006 3:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</guid><description><![CDATA[HomePlug might not be ready for HDTV yet, but what about Xbox Live (for those who don't want to re-wire their whole house to include an ethernet plug in the Xbox's main room)? Another thought would be to use video baluns to convert the signal first, assuming you're doing something sub-HDTV standards.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 13th 2006 4:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/02/netgear-xe104-not-ready-for-hdtv-primetime/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you measured latency at all, 10Mbps would be fine for my senario however if it adds any latency then will just run cat 5 out the window]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Mackenzie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2006 8:58PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
