I made a very quick visit to Netgear's booth. I was intrigued by their Ethernet networking distribution using your home's power line. They offered various modules with the best one boasting 200mb/sec speed rating.
This unit won the CES 2007 best innovation award. They are approximately $180 per pair and you can place ten inside a typical home.
The faster model will let you stream HD content from your computer and also has "Quality of Service" feature that will prioritize the streaming content so it will prevent interruptions of the streamed signal.

These units are great for the older home that may not have Cat5e type network cabling distributed throughout their home and also do not want a wireless network solution.
