I don't have an HDHR so can't comment on its performance over wifi.

If you end up using wifi for this use case to ensure doing so over 5GHz
wifi rather than 2.4GHz. There's a lot more capacity in the 5GHz band so
you are much more likely to be "alone" in the chosen channel, rather
than having to share the airwaves with other users.
