When you say you want to stream from your pc, does that mean you have a copy of the film on the pc and it stutters when you try to stream it over your own network? If so, homeplugs might help.
If you're trying to stream a film that you're downloading on the pc, then the stuttering may be caused by your download speeds, and homeplugs are unlikely to help.

You only read the quotes in earlier posts not the original.

We were told Homeplugs would be a better solution, but reading this topic has confused me a bit - do the speeds we get through Homeplugs depend on the speed of our phone line? We get about 8MB/s download speed, but are thinking of getting 200 MB/s homeplugs and connecting it as follows:
PC -> Home Hub 1 via Ethernet
Home plug 1 -> Home Hub via Ethernet
Home plug 2 -> PS3 via Ethernet
Will this give us enough speed to stream HD perfectly?
Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!

Obviously on BT with a home hub. Not BT Infinity.
