The simple way is to used homeplug just for one service. My advice used the homelug for data. So, its better to you have the btu, and rg at your master bedroom where u want to put ur iptv. Then from there u can extend the data transmission using homeplug to other place. Use only 3 homeplug with one as a something like master and 2 more as a slave. This solution only applicable if u willing to hack your condo up to ur master bedroom.
Or
You can create 2 homeplug network to connect data and iptv. So u need to hack ur condo up to living room and need to have btu and rg there. Then extend the iptv line using one pair to the masterbedroom and put ur stb there. Then u need to have another pair to transmit the data to pc. Setback is u need to have more homeplug and enough power plug at ur living room.

you can have the BTU at the living hall (less hacking). connect the rj45 from the btu to homeplug and pair it (pair 1) to another homeplug to your master bedroom. from there you can connect the RG and STB and have 2 wired connection to your pc and iptv STB. then take another homeplug and connect from another RG ethernet port (data) to homeplug and create another pair (pair 2) and connect it to living hall pc and second bedroom pc. This configuration need 5 home plug and pricey. So if your condo can covered by wireless, better buy wireless adapter for the pc at another bedroom and living hall. this will used 2 homeplug and it can prevent you to do a lot of hacking.

used 200Mbps.. but if you willing to wait.. wait for 500Mbs... and find out the chipset maker as well. Either DS2 or Atheros.. my advice.. go for atheros..

I've got 1 question about this. WORKS ON A 3 PHASE POWER???
I've read it somewhere that it won't perform so well ...

RM85.00 is still okay. If U go & get a contractor to conceal RJ45 it's gonna cost about RM80.00-RM120.00 per point & that's for workmanship only. Branded CAT6 is about RM600+-. If it's 6-10 points & don't mind messy abit then CONCEAL CABLE works best.

I've never get to try it yet. Internet research from what I read works best as below:
BTU<-->BPL<-->Router<-->PC/IPTV
Let the router do it's job. Spread out from there.

working on 3 phase if ur plug came from one phase.. need to check first. if not the implementation become more complex.. on the cat6.. i think cat 5e is enough..

either on the trunk or not.. it will works fine.. but you need to separate pairing each pair for that purpose...

Added on April 20, 2011, 9:39 amMaybe some homeplug do not support IGMP ver3 for IPTV operation.

I think you need to make the pair separately.

I thought already got 1000Mbps aztech plug.. Why introduce 500Mbps.. Why not just extend 1000mbps series..

There is no chipset support 1gbps. Maybe you come accross with gigle that some manufacturer used for 1gbps. But the problem is i think gigle not in the homeplg alliance and it will make it difficult to interoperability later.

All network components must be on same phase wiring.

Do you understand how the 3 phase wiring layout at your premise?

Actually homeplug ' connected' through the neutral cable in 3 phase wiring. So, u still can connected but maybe not strong connection.

Yeah.. better buy 500Mbps homeplug. HL115EP is on of it. Because of the Homeplug alliance and interoperability.
