TV distribution with Homeplug/Powerline Devices

Does anyone know if its possible to combine a product like this :

with homeplug.powerline devices in order to avoid installing cables?

Thanks

No. Homeplug works with IP devices, but not with analogue transmission over twisted pair.

Re: TV distribution with Homeplug/Powerline Devices

Out of interest MAW, have you had any experience of video over Cat5 in general, like the Lindy devices? I've a related posting over here, but I'm not sure how good these things really are (although I'm personally not after outstanding PQ). Specifically I'm curious how well they work if a single, continuous, cable isn't used e.g. patch-cable->socket->solid-cable->socket->patch-cable.
