The Gorse Fox has been performing problem determination. The BT TV service works fine in the living room but in the Orangery, some of the channels are not watchable (blocky and stuttering). After a fair bit of faffing (a technical term) it became clear that the LAN segment in the kitchen was not fast enough for the TV Service. Running a cable directly to the hub solved the problem. This, however, is not a good solution as there is no neat way to hide the cable.
(It is at this point that the Gorse Fox bemoans the fact that the builders refused to lay network cables - even though the Gorse Fox requested them and offered to pay extra).
Now we need to find a solution that will provide sufficient bandwidth (somehow).
At the moment the Gorse Fox is flummoxed.

Hi GF, you may have already considered and discounted the idea, but what about the ethernet over power sockets? Various options of one to one, one to many etc. Your LAN cable to the TV would then pop out from the same place as the power cable.
Mark, I am using Ethernet over the power grid (1000Mbps PowerLink adapters) but the LAN segment it creates in this part of the house is just not fast enough. I suspect there is a spur in this circuit and it is causing interference on the line so it can't run at full blast.
