I should have clarified. From the previous post I was assuming the user was watching SD content.
I don't have a HD card so I can't speak to the effects that HD has on a network. That said, I became curious about this bandwidth issue.
So, I started watching a recording on my PS3, fired up my linux box and started watching a show via mythfrontend, then fired up my windows machine
and started watching a show, streamed, using VLC (at the same time that some windows updates and VLC updates were downloading).
My inbound wifi bandwidth usage was next to nothing. Outbound ranged in the 10 - 20 MBps with an occasional spike of about 23 MBps. Wifi connectivity was fine, and the only noticeable
issue was some very intermittent choppiness in the mythfrontend sound.
I can see where HD content would severely impact wifi connections, but with 3 different devices ALL viewing myth content at the same time my SD content is really stressing my wifi net.
