[mythtv-gta]: Is 54Mbit wireless like "hub" or "switch"?

[ted leslie]

some people report nice results with broadband over power line.
my only issue with it is, how easy does it "leak" out of a house power system, and can it be decoded by
a neighbour? but i think that is very unlikely ... oh, maybe not so unlikely if you live in a apartment.
if bbOpl can handle the multi hd streams, it would probably be a clean choice.
