Speaking to my dad about the same thing, he advised me I've have to put in a conduit in the wall (so cut out a bit of plaster), put the cabling in and plaster over it (IIRC he said about putting something over the cable before plastering it. Not really ideal if you've just redecorated. The only reason I'm getting away with it is because we're redecorating and at the moment we're in the process of stripping wallpaper. > And i dont wana be one of those people who when they show off their hd > to their friends they dont actually have the hd content to back it up > so its going to have to be able to play at least a good quality of > content!

Well the XBOX won't really play HD content, it's just not really up to the job of doing it properly which is a shame really as I really do like XBMC (yes I know it's available for Linux & Windows although if I was putting a PC in I'd put MythTV or Windows Media Center on it instead). If you want to play HD content over power line ethernet you'd probably find you'd have to go for something like the 200MBit adaptors which are more expensive as you generally don't get the quoted speed. IIRC my friend's 85Mbit adaptors got a real speed of around 18MBit. In the future though hopefully Netgear will be releasing their network over TV coax adaptors though which use standard TV/FM coax cables although they'll be a bit pricey - http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/netgears-coax-ethernet-adapter-up-for-pre-order/
