I don't have the possibility to install new network cables. That's the reason I would like to use powerline adaptors. The difficulty is that I have 2x VLAN networks. One for Internet signal and a second one for IPTV. Can they both run on the network with 2 different (brands of) powerline adaptors (which will be paired)?
Is it possible to get 2 different VLAN signals on the network with different powerline adaptors?

Yes as long as you use different keys they will form 2 different networks. How well they perform is another questions though. You now have 2 network overlapped with no method to coordinate between them.
There are a number of these units that support vlan tags I would run a 802.1q trunk between your switches and let a single pair of powerline device do the work. Mostly the powerline devices just have to allow the slightly longer packets that contain the tags but some brands actually say they support vlan tags.

Hmmm I would have assumed since you said you had 2 vlans you already had switches that supported them. Generally any switch that supports vlans supports the concept of vlan tagging...ie 802.1q trunks. You will need a device on each end that supports it. Router that run dd-wrt also have the ability to run 802.1q trunks.
Any smaller "managed" switch will work. Generally the if you see a switch supports vlans then it will do what you need.
Now I am not sure which to recommend. Performance wise 2 switches with a single power line connection between them will be optimum. BUT when you look at the costs it will likely be more expensive if you do not already have the switches. Then you also have to learn how to configure and use these devices. Powerline networks can be unstable with just a single pair of device with 2 pair I just can't predict how well it will work.
