Powerline Adapter for Netflix

[storp]

Am considering a TP link 500 Mbps (model TL-PA4010KIT) that will feed from the wired modem, into a movie room.
Running a cable to this room is out of the question.

Wondering what the quality of the signal is, if it can be used with a Dish Network receiver.
If there is any, or much of a difference with a wireless connection?

I have the 1000Mbps kit and I get the same speed from the adapters I would get directly connected to the router. I had an issue with the first set when doing file transfers between computers but never had issues with streaming.

RMA'd them and they sent me new adapters.

Do you think 500 Mbps is enough for streaming movies?

Yeah, but why just get 500mbps when you can get 1000mbps?

Depends on the encoding rate, but even a 2.5 hour BluRay at 50 GB in size would only need about 5.7 MB/sec (~46 mbit).
