People have tried G and dual speed G (Whatever manufactureres want to call it). Noone has been able to get it to work perfectly all the time. Reasons it's hard: * 1080i is 19.6Mb/s of bandwidth, then you have to add network headers on top of that. * G is about 27Mb/s _max_ you could ever hope to get from 54Mb wireless * Add a single wall to the path and you're bandwidth is under 20Mb/s easily * Cordless phone on 2.4ghz will kill your bandwidth when it's used (Including even if it's neighbor 300 feet away) * Neighbors wireless AP will lessen your bandwidth * If your frontend tries to do much on the network, your video will stutter. * If you have other systems on the AP, that will really cause your frontend to stutter. That's what I'm aware of. --Brandon
