IMHO even 802.11g is not really good and consistent enough for mythtv. Ultimately you want your TV to work like an appliance, ie it should always work and not need constant tinkering. I've fought with using wireless for my mythtv setup as well but I could not get a 100% consistent signal that had enough BW to not have hickups in the playback. I live in a moderately high density area where several neighbors in my building also have wireless, perhaps it would be different in the 'burbs but thats my experience. Paul
