The power of powerline networking

In episode 141, Andy and Sean talk about a technology that allows you to use your home's electrical wiring for networking your gadgets. No need to string cables from your router to your Xbox 360, Blu-ray DVD player, TiVo or other networked gear. Power Line Networking uses existing house wiring to transmit data. Plug in to the wall, plug in an Ethernet cable and you're up and running.
