Yep, plain old MPEG2 (what the PVR-250 spits out) and I did not have to
decrease the bit rate or quality of the capture.  Like I said, most
applications can tolerate latentcy due to TCP retries but video transmission
can't.  Drop the wireless bit rate to the point where retransmissions are
never needed and you should be all set.
