I've got a cheap Toshiba blu-ray player on account of it being region free. It doesn't have the networky stuff at all, but I have something else to do that. Anyway, it seems fine!

As Matt said, homeplugs are going to be more reliable than wifi. Have a look for some AV500 ones though, better performance and I'm sure I've seen some at a similar price.
The AV200 ones will no doubt do the job fine, but y'know, bigger numbers are always better!

I think you should wire your home! Don't be like these other lazy guys!

I'd like to get rid of my BR player for one that's region-free. That way I could also ditch the region-free DVD player. But, although not a Sony ho, I'd prefer Sony because it all works together and I have teh lazies

I feel like I'm doing very well having never bought a blu-ray player (and therefore never bought a blu-ray disc).

Been kinda thinking about getting homeplugs. But... Ideally I'd like them unsecured*, does anyone still make them this way, do you know?
(*due to laziness. The prospect of having to go down/up two flights of stairs every time they desync is offputting)

The Billion BiPac AV200 ones I have didn't require syncing. They optionally can have encryption, but I've never switched it on!

Thank you, sir!
Follow on question:
I've heard varying reports about how they perform when they're on different loops. They'll certainly be on different loops. Will that be an issue? I'm not looking for amazing performance just better-and-more-reliable-than-wifi.

AFAIK that was only applicable to Homeplug 1.0. Newer Homeplug standards use the neutral side of the circuit which has less issues (noise) . That's what Wikipedia says anyway.
