Powerline integral to Sky Q boxes

Historically, a powerline option was shown in the Network menu. This would suggest that the powerline was built into the various Sky Q boxes. Sky removed this option.

 

Is the powerline switched off such that there is no signal transmittal whatsoever over the mains?

 

I am trying to reduce radio interference.

@Blighty only the V1 and V2 boxes and the original 1TB non UHD box had the integrated powerline equipment in the boxes the V3 don't have it. Sky never activated it officially and turned it off completly and removed the option in a software update around about 2019
