I was responding to zip having queried the network quality: I should have said the connection from PC to TV is standard hard-wired Ethernet (ie. not wireless) but with part of the run covered via a pair of Devolo power line units running at 130 Mbit/s (instead of their theoretical 200 Mbit/s)

In my case there are only 4 alternatives:
- running a 50 m Ethernet cable around the place requiring the walls to end up with as many holes as a Swiss cheese in a spaghetti factory plus the expense of a divorce
- using a wireless connection where the neighbours have so many devices flooding all channels in all standards a, b, g, n at max signal strength so that even Marconi would get confused
- using a combination of Ethernet and power line units
- not being able to display my files on my TV
Luckily the power line units are far better nowadays than they used to be and since I installed mine a yet faster version has been launched
All I need now is a way to get also the iPlayer to output via Serviio onto the TV but, last time I asked, zip indicated that the BBC had either made it impossible or hadn't made it possible to do (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=255&p=4713#p3183)
