Why have we allowed the mains cabling to be used to send signalsand crap on?

To Brian,
In all fairness, I would not like my Freeview or Freesat to be affected in the same way as on LW, MW or SW.
As a born profoundly deaf person, I rely on the subtitles and pictures working just like you rely on radio working as it's our link to the outside world.
So I don't use power line networking at my house and just have the minimum of WiFi so that's just tablets or smartphones.
Everything else is all ethernet wired, even the music systems, all smart TVs, all printers and scanners, all network storage etc.
The loft looks like a data centre server room as a result, with over 64 co-ax cables and over 64 ethernet cables coming in
The trouble is putting that in in an existing property that is already
decorated. I have just run ethernet and satellite/TV/FM/DAB cables
upstairs. The only way to do it and keep all those cables hidden neatly
away was while redecorating the hall, stairs and landing and it involved
pulling down the ceiling and putting a new one up afterwards, as the
bathroom floor above is tiled and there is no access from above. I
needed to replace the ceiling anyway due to previous water damage, but
if I hadn't, it'd have been a hell of a lot of work and disruption just
to get signals there that I could have sent there wirelessly.
