Re: wireless connection to a TV.

Powerline home networking supports encryption. One of the Powerline
devices is the "master". When you add other devices, you hit a config
button on the master. For a short period, any new Powerline devices can
register with it and they exchange encryption keys. After that, the
traffic between Powerline components is encrypted. So if you plug in a
rogue Powerline device outside the house, you'll only see encrypted traffic
(unless the user doesn't enable it).

I've been using Powerline since before Powerline was the trade name. My
home had zero Ethernet wired and only minimal coax & phone lines when we
bought. Between WiFi & Powerline I've avoided the need & expense of
running lines in an existing home. One nice thing about Powerline is that
it works at any outlet in the room so if you redecorate & move a desk to an
opposite wall, you don't have to run a wire along the baseboard or do any
other stuff to accommodate being away from the room's pre-wired Ethernet;
just move the Powerline adapter to the outlet nearest where it'll be used.

I'm all in favor of easy but it does make me wonder "Do you have a
firewall on your power line?" Could I plug an adapter on to an outdoor
outlet and be on your network? Granted, I would have to know that you are
using them in the first place. Just a passing thought...

directly to tv. This beats the hell out of pulling wires.

Do they make a lan to hdmi converter? So if you have cat 5 throughout
your house you could do it that way?
