The question is which of the vested interests will win the day. The

wanting to still use hf radio, or the companies who make internet
over power cables devices. Some popular tv boxes now seem to have them
built in which is a little alarming

Power line adaptors were always a bodge and Wifi soon (largely) replaced
them. Now that Mesh is becoming common place, only a few will remain in
service- probably (and I don't intend this to be pejorative) in
situations where someone, typically an older person who just wants a
system that works, and their friend/family etc has installed one and it
remains in service.

There were (sometimes) supplied with TV boxes as you say but I rather
doubt this is still the case- Wifi is far more likely these days.


Well VM recently supplied a newer version of the Tivo box, and the
complete pack came with two powerline adapters.

So up to about a year ago they were being shipped as standard.

This suggests that the Super Hub 3 may not have enough WiFi oomph to cover
the average home at HD streaming speeds.
