I use an HDHomeRun Extend connected to a WiFi "N" router that links my 
parents' house to my house (about 110mbs on the link w/ 9db antenna) 
where the MythTV server is located on a LAN.  It works fine, but I 
explicitly got the Extend version to make sure I could stream over a 
WiFi "N" network, and still have enough left for my parents to watch at 
least one stream simultaneously, which it seems to do easily.  When 
using both tuners it can consume a peak of about 50mbs, average about 25.

The HomeRun Extend works well over the WiFi, except that its watchdog 
has reset the device several times, and when that happens it requires a 
restart of mythtv-backend to clear up the hanging recordings.
