Wow, great constructive responses. I thought for sure I was going to get burned on my post.

I think the powerline options is sort of like wireless. (advertised speed is probably chip speed, and in a lab. If you put on an antenna, or actually plug in the device, and turn it on, then the speed goes down) lol.

Original poster did not specify if SD content, or HD capable content solution. For 1 frontend only upstairs, this may be an option. Wireless is another option already posted about earlier. These look like the current options if running a cable is out of the question.

Good luck deyab

Warchildx beat me to this suggestion.

Though I haven't used it for transferring content, I found it a great way to get the guide data to a box where I couldn't run a network cable. At that time, wireless cost about the same as the two older 10mbit power line networking devices it bought on sale.

It is unfortunate that there are times that people are left feeling that their posts can result in being flamed. I am glad that some of your past experiences did not inhibit your from sharing your ideas.
