I wouldn't be pleased with this. Only 192Kbps? Plus, does it send the data through the power lines or through the air? I've seen the wireless modems that send the signal through the power lines, and those get really bad static.

What's not practical about it? For someone who doesn't want to go through the hassle of setting up a wireless network just to get their music from their PC to their sound system, this is ideal.

I emailed the company and there are no plans as of now to market a version that works in the US. That's a shame.

seems like a cool idea, but not very practical.

Nice product. Is there something similar that works in the US?

I just wired my whole house with RG-6 and Cat6 Ethernet for less than $160. That's a waste!
