Switching to BT TV? Powerline Adaptors, 2nd TV RF output?

M271

I'm thinking of switching to BT TV unless Sky give me a good deal to keep me with them.

1) One potential problem which I may have with BT is that I would need to use powerline adaptors to connect my router to the TV box (too far and unsightly for wiring). The official TV Box set up guide says that for extra channels powerline routers cannot be used, however on a webchat with BT they said that a recent powerline adaptor would be OK (what recent means I don't know!). Have any of you had experience of using powerline adaptors for ALL channels including the extra channels like BT and Sky sport? Was it OK or not?

2) My current Sky box has an RF output which I use to connect to my kitchen TV. Can the output from the BROADBAND delivered channels be viewed via the RF output from the BT TV box to a 2nd TV?

Far as I'm aware BT never enabled RF out, well not an rf2 , there's a single RF for output to a tv but it's not able to magic eye like sky

No modern box contains RF out any more, so its now a dead technology.

Powerlines are fine for most home set ups, but there reliability or not depends on the quality of your homes internal electrical wiring.
