As more and more people get HDTVs, the TVs themselves get thinner and thinner, making them easier to hang on walls. However, hanging an LCD or plasma HDTV on the wall can be quite annoying when trying to connect any sort of media player to it. It requires an extra stand, or a shelf, or something near the TV to connect them. It can be a bit of a pain and can be annoying to look at with all those wires running to the TV.
Audiovox showed off its solution to the eyesore of all those cables with the Acoustic Research HDP100 HD Powerlink System at CES 2009. The system allows you to send audio and video from your device to your TV. Normally, you’d expect this to do it wirelessly, but the HDP100 actually works by transmitting the signals through the electrical wiring in your house. As long as both the transmitting and receiver devices are plugged directly into the wall, the signal can be used, preferably with both devices in the same room.
The technology seems like a cool idea, sending signal through electrical wiring sounds a bit strange, though. Presumably the devices can’t be too far apart, but even just a few feet away should put the media devices far enough away from the TV so they can by out of the way. The receiver can even be wall mounted near the TV if that’s what you’re looking for. However, at $400 it might not be worth it to some people who don’t find running wires too much of a bad thing. If you shop around, you may be able to get it cheaper.
