<div>My HDHR shares the same network as all my other network devices, although I have 2 switches, 1 16 port Netgear 10/100 switch feeds the desktops, the linux router, 1 MythFrontend, etc, then I have a Netgear Wireless N router with 4 port gigabit switch built in, which has my HDHR, Mythbackend box, and 1 frontend, and an 1 port over to the 16 port switch. </div>
<div>so far I have been able to view 2 HD broadcasts from the HDHR successfully without running out of bandwidth. My future plans are to get one managed Gigabit switch and maybe put things on different vlans, but I have fallen into the ease of having my main desktop and Mythbox on the same network so I can easily copy files into the video folders without resorting to SSH. </div>

<div>Now in his case, the wireless link would would only connect to the router and to the remote computer trying to connect to his network, he could still maintain a wired office or where-ever his main computer is. But I do see a major improvement in my television quality when I upgraded to in wall wiring, it takes some time to learn to do it yourself, or well worth the money to have someone fish it for you. </div>
