Just because a company has been around for 20 odd years is no guarantee that they will still be here tomorrow. Here in Spain one of the largest building companies is now in financial difficulty, and they have been around for 19 years.
And I have to agree about the website. Also when looking for specific info such as photos and specs of the actual equipment this is very minimal. And in many places the site says this or that can be done but no real world connection examples proving that this is actually the case or how it is done, or how it all fits into the patch panel.
While I think the product has great potential, and one I will certainly be watching with a lot of interest, many people are put off by the system using proprietary everything. As you need adapters for absolutely everything. This is also true of the Abitana system which uses a proprietary cable, and people are wary of this to. But once they see the system in the flesh and realise what it can they tend to like it more, I guess this is also true for the HomeNet system as well.
I think having more than one product to choose from is a good thing. Competition is a healthy thing. And at the end of the day you will always get a person loving one product more than another. As they say one man's meat is another man's poison.
