Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum, been reading for a while but finally decided to join in on the fun.
I've been reading the guides for building my first HTPC.
Seem's like like i would be in group 2 but i prefer not to go with the apple tv 2 as prices are ridiculous and i would like to kind of be as future proof as possible.
Here's my issue, i have my modem/router upstairs and would like to have my HTPC downstairs, streaming of off a NAS that would also be upstairs, connected to my router. From what iive been reading, apparently wireless isn't such a good idea as it can impact performance and create lag. But how in the hell would i be able to have a wired connection without drilling holes all over my house?? I've found "powerline adapters" but not sure how they work...
can you anyone help a n00b brotha out?
I'm dying to get set up with XBMC and im smply a techie fanboy looking to finally get my hands dirty!
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
