Mine works fine over 802.11b.   I have mythstreamtv playing smoothly over my older Dell Axim PocketPC.   Just make sure to use the lowest settings and increase until you see problems, but I normally use lowest settings, which is still fine for watching.   For home WAN, I too use the fastest settings.
   I have tried this directly over my home WAN and also from work.  (DSL to DSL then to my PPC hooked up to work network).   I've even tried it from a dailup connection.   While extremely choppy and totally unwatchable, it is cool to tell someone in timbuktu to dialup to the internet and point the media player to my IP and they can see a picture or two of what I am watching.    Show you folks your not completely wasting your time at college.   Geek Factor of solid 10!

I have it running.  while not over 802.11b, I am streaming from home to work over my cable modem.  the upload speed is advertised at 1/4 GB.  I need to decrease the framerate to about 15/sec.  25%size and lower bitrate.  but that is suffcient for my 'at work viewing' of streams.
 
At home, my mythbox is 802.11g.  I stream at highest settings to a wired XP box w/o any issues

Hello,

First, know that I googled this, but I didn't find any satisfactory answers.

I'm running mythstreamtv & mythweb on a Gentoo machine, streaming
to a Gentoo laptop over 802.11b via a D-Link DWL 900-AP & a
prism2.5 chipset minipci adaptor.

The stream works quite well (I have sound & picture), but even
if I move the video size to 25%, after mplayer caches 20% of the
stream it plays a while, then when it runs out of cache it starts to
stutter.

It seems like 802.11b just doesn't provide enough bandwidth, but
I've seen people claim that it *does*. So, I'm curious:

Does anyone out there have mythstreamtv working over 802.11b?
Did you have to do anything special?

Thanks!
