The PNA bridge works for Broadband guide updates. However, the jury is still out on the subject of streaming between units with this setup.

4/5K networking using Home PNA 2.0?
Hi folks;
Long time no post here. As I couldn't seem to locate anything in the forum search on the topic of using Home PNA networking for hooking up multiple 4/5K units for mutual program streaming, IVS, as well as broadband access for the nightly EPG downloads and any SW upgrades, I was curious as to whether or not anyone here is using such a method for there Home networking and/or knows about it's performance with the 4/5K PVRs. RTV customer service says it will work just fine, however I know it's not always the wisest to go on what a sevice rep. may say.
Not that I plan to do anything prior to the April 15th auction though. But if everything comes out OK with RTV maintaining their service under new ownership, this is the chosen method I am using for my Home network as I didn't want to be bothered with stringing ethernet cable throughout the house. Unfortunately I realize however that I will have to pay additional money for a ethernet to Home PNA bridge for each of the PVRs to access the network. That is unless someone else here knows of a cheaper alternative than purchasing a separate bridge for each PVR as the last one I checked by Linksys wanted $149.00 ea. for them
.
Thanks for any input.
