For a while I was running my Myth frontend with a Linksys Wireless G card and it was ok for SD. I didn't have any HD content, but the maximum data transfer rate of wireless G is only about 6.75 MB per second so HD will be hit and miss most likely (depending on packet loss) and you're likely to only be able to support a single stream at a time.
<br><br>One thing to make sure is to turn off encryption. Encrypted wireless will severely slow down your transfer rate and I found it was unusable with even WEP enabled. That's one of the reasons I gave up on wireless g Myth streaming because essentially I'd have to leave my network completely unprotected to get a stable video stream.
<br><br>It's possible, but I found it to be unfeasible.<br><br>Brion<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Vanspall</b> <<a href="mailto:steve@vanspall.id.au">steve@vanspall.id.au

ok thanks everyone<br>
<br>
I played a bit with my router but got nowhere.<br>
<br>
I now have pre recorded stuff working properly which is enough for me.
I actually didn't change anything to acheive this just turned off al my
machines. Turned off my router for like 2 or 3 minutes. The I turned
the router back on and then each connecting machine one by one. Might
have to keep doing that now and again. Expecting to hav eto do it
anyway, the networks gonna need rebooting now and again.<br>
<br>
Just to add, one thing suggested to me was to pause live tv for about a
minute then watch. This way it would be playing from a recording.
Interestingly enough this didn't work. It still paused every 10 seconds
or so.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre>Categorically untrue. I am streaming HD over wireless G (up to 1080i <br>material, the highest resolution source I have available) with no <br>problems at all -- no pauses, hicups, out-of-sync audio or anything <br>
else. It's all a matter of 1) selecting wireless adapters that are well <br>supported in Linux (like the Intel chipset in my frontend) and 2) <br>configuring things properly.<br><br>Chuck<br>_______________________________________________
