Nick I had exactly the same problem that you're experiencing - the answer for me was to put a switch between the homeplug and SB3 (I got a Netgear FS605UK from my local PC World for £12.99).
Since then I've had no problems - the homeplug streams FLAC files with very little dropout. I can't say for sure that this will solve your own problem, but it could be the answer.
