How to send infor between TV and PC
I have installed the Powerline PLP1200 to use between my Smart TV and computer PC. I have ping and have confirmed I have a connection. Now will someone please tell me how I can send info from my PC to my TV?

You have said that already.
If you want to say it again, try telling people what the TV is. The make and model.
Does it have an Ethernet socket on the back? Have you plugged the TV into the Powerline plug?

All the powerline does is setup a connection. If you're trying to have your TV have internet, you'll either need a router, to bridge the connection with your pc's connection, or go through your tv manual for best way to do it. The powerline is just in replacment of for an ethernet wire.
Thank you for the comment, but since I am connected through my router, I would like to have a example of how to send something from my computer to the TV. I did know how to do that at one time, but it has been so long, I just forgot and haven 't found an example of what to do or how to do it. I am sure that with an example it would refresh my mind and would be on my way.
The setup is done so what do I do now?

Not sure what you mean by that.
The first move is to set up the TV to connect to the Internet over the Internet and its wired LAN connection.
Get the TV talking to the outside world and take it from there.
The router, and plugs, won't help there.
As plemans says, the Powerline just connects you to the outside world. What you do after that is down to what you are trying to do. Netgear can't help there. It isn't involved. The TV is the place to look.
