Just writing to see if anyone is using 802.11N & HD in their myth setup.<br>
Yes, I've read <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Network" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Network</a> & done a subject line<br>
search.<br>
<br>
I think I can run a coax line from the attic (UHF antenna) to an<br>
existing gigabit ethernet switch in my house (office), where I could<br>
theoretically put a HDHomeRun. If I replaced my existing 802.11g access<br>
point/router/NAT box with 802.11N(+G) access point/router/NAT box, and<br>
then bought an N AP (no NAT, router, just wireless bridge) & placed it in<br>
my TV equipment rack in a seperate room, would N provide the actual bandwidth<br>
I need for 2 HD streams?<br>
<br>
Sure, I'd love to hard-wire the connection, but cable, crimping tools,<br>
wallplates, 6' drill bits, sheet rock tape, mud, paint, etc. are making<br>
the cable fish job close to $300-400 in parts alone, not counting several<br>
weekends of my labor or paying an electrician. Slabs & vaulted<br>
ceilings, and a bunch of exterior walls are making this an especially tricky<br>
fish job.<br>
<br>
I'm assuming the state of the N world in Linux still leaves much to be<br>
desired, and a wireless bridge in the TV room would be the way to go,<br>
compared to trying to add an N card to a box.<br>
<br>
Sure, I know N can theoretically go 240 Mb/s, however from the B & G<br>
worlds, I know theoretical & actual are 2 seperate things. So I'm<br>
asking the list to see if anyone has bothered to send the output of an<br>
HD Home Run (2 ATSC streams) over an 802.11N connection to a BE/FE myth<br>
box.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Michael<br>
