@Matt Yeah, the PLE300 is a single Ethernet port powerline adapter, the PLS300 is a 4 port switch and powerline adapter. They claim 200Mbps over it, though I’ve never properly tested it. I’ve done gaming over it and watch streaming HD movies both from Netflix and just over my local network, and it’s always been fine. I should do some proper bandwidth testing over it sometime.

Very nice. Sounds like a good plan. Why the double Linksys in between the airport and the 360/Tivo? Is one the incoming powerline supply and the other the receiver on the other end? If so, good for you for avoiding the 360-wireless fiasco. Console gaming over WiFi is just plain wrong. What’s the speed like over the powerline compared to regular network cable?
