[mythtv-users] Streaming Live TV

[Eloy A. Paris]

Just make sure you have a fast network. 10 mbits/sec Ethernet or 11
mbits/sec 802.11b wireless is not enough, not even for a single machine;
video will freeze every 10 seconds or so.

I heard 802.11g (54 mbits/sec) works, and 100 mbits/sec Ethernet
definitely works.
