Presumably they do the same thing on SkyPlayer or whatever they call it. Ah well.

I have 2 and they work fine on different circuits (upstairs and downstairs in my case). I believe it's the meter unit that is the stop point.

Pop into an electrical store and grab the bits you need to run a catv cable from the router to your office. If you terminate the ends yourself it's really very cheap. I ran a catv from the back of my house to the front and including wall sockets (which are extravagant for this purpose) I think the cost was well under a tenner.

Thanks all.
Went to Maplins today and bought a pair of mains wiring thingies - the man in there said that as long as both circuits used the same consumer unit they should work. Testing tomorrow...

One thing to be aware of is that the mains things will interfere with medium wave AM radio, which you may use for Radio 5 or Talk Sport.

Also be aware that phone extensions will degrade your broadband even though you put in filters everywhere. My bandwidth improved by 3 times when I filtered the broadband off at the the point where the phone cable enters the house using one of these.
