TV sets to get data-over-mains

PCW have an article on Home Plug AV which uses the household mains supply to carry high speed data. Systems like this can cause significant interference to the MF and HF radio spectrum.

The article says:

"The Intellon chips use Home Plug AV, the latest generation of Homeplug Powerline Alliance technology, which is rated at 200Mbits/sec, with real data rates of up to 85Mbits/sec in each direction.

This is enough to deliver at least two high-definition data streams, which in theory could eliminate the need for a monitor data cable.

Barnes says the latest-generation Home Plug implementations are cleaner than earlier ones, reducing the risk of RF interference by 'notching out' frequencies used by radio hams, aircraft and police."
