<br>Also, does anyone know if any of the ION 2 nettop computers (like the Asus EB1501) support WiFi on 5GHz channels? I've not had much success with video streaming 2.4GHz in my apartment building, although that was with the Hauppauge MVP that basically ran out of memory due to too many MythTV recordings...<br>
Does 2.4GHz work well for SD/HD recordings over the MythTV protocol when there are many devices around?<br><br>/ Niklas<br><br>
