I have just read an article on the BBC News web site about a television system on display at the Cebit Technology Fair that claims to be able to receive its signal through the power socket. At present only one channel can be transmitted at a time, but the idea is that you only need to plug one cable into the wall to receive television. Nice idea. One channel isn’t really much good though, they’d need to increase that before letting it loose on the general public. In addition (and this may come as a surprise to some), this is by no means a new idea – Acorn computers were exploiting this concept back in the 90s.
