I'm looking for a HomePlug (or other powerline network) device that is as flush with the wall as possible, as it will be placed behind a wall mounted television.
I haven't had any luck trying to find HomePlug (or other powerline network) products that are thin enough to be suitable - do such products exist on the market, or are there any other ways this could be achieved?
** Edit **
I should probably mention that I'm in the UK
3Not entirely sure why this is on hold; I described the situation and the problem I'm trying to solve - how to get HomePlug ethernet behind a wall-mounted TV...there is already one answer which answers in a non-product specific way... nevertheless, I've made a small edit to make the question a bit more open and less product orientated. – Cocowalla – 2013-07-16T20:32:35.653
Your question might be better if you remove "HomePlug" and use a more generic term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_line_communication Failing that...maybe http://diy.stackexchange.com/ ?

@A.M. I'm pretty sure Superuser is (meant to be) the place for home networking questions – Cocowalla – 2013-07-16T22:04:15.433
1@gronostaj "Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve"... yep, did that... – Cocowalla – 2013-07-16T22:04:58.153
@Cocowalla I am just trying to help you get your question taken off hold. I actually think it is fine as-is, but I am trying to think of ways to get more people to accept it. Based on http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/, it really does seem like you have an appropriate question. The only other thing I can think of is phrasing it as "What is the thinnest powerline network device?"
– A.M. – 2013-07-17T00:26:57.040@ others: There is nothing deeper to learn about the topic (see the link about "shopping questions"), so there is no room for something like "What things should I look for in a powerline network device that fits behind a wall-mounted TV?" The thing has to be thin...end of story...and there is a specific answer to the question as asked. Actually, it is even more future-proof than shopping questions since there is not much chance powerline network technology will regress. – A.M. – 2013-07-17T00:30:54.197
My guess is that the real reason the question is on hold is that it is both almost a shopping question and some people may think it is not computer-y enough (being about a mechanical problem). – A.M. – 2013-07-17T00:31:17.980
