Belkin Gigabit HD Powerline Adaptors Wiping out DAB Radio

[26highstreet]

These are illegal and you could be prosecuted for using them... Just because you can buy them in does not make any difference. You can buy a car but if you start honking the horn all night or driving around at 100mph you are going to get into trouble... These things splatter over miltary and emergency radio comms.. They block car keyfobs from working.. Test have shown fire brigade two way comms being jammed at 1000 feet away from one of these things

can you help me for some reason my WD livewire just stopped working and my netcomm one stopped as well, its after we got a gigabit router is it because of the 200 megs limit? Worth buying a new one cuz im a competitive gamer.

they can not keep up with the sreaming for films and if you use more of them you will lose dab all over the house lol.

@MrHamlet786 Have you tried to stream HD? I have ordered a pair of those mostly for streaming HD to ps3 but I am a bot worried.

Another good example of how these horrid things should not be used. I wonder if they have any effect on deaf aids and pacemakers or for that matter any other medical equipment.

This is an outstanding non-technical demonstration of a real-world deployment of PLT and the unequivocal breach of the Essential Requirements of the EMC Regulations - which state that radio equipment MUST NOT be prevented from operating as intended. Any PLT with the GIGLE chip-set (currently Belkin and soon, Solwise) will have this effect since they use radio signals over the mains, interference is inevitable.
