    So I finally got around to making the run of CAT6 between my studio and
    bedroom, so that it no longer is on Wireless N. I had been using one of
    those cheep Kworld USB HDTV tuners on the computer in my bedroom for HiDef,
    and using Beyond TV over Wireless N for all other TV. It was a bit
    cumbersome having two different softwares to fire up. One for HD and one
    for SD. Anyway, I've now got that machine hard wired to my network, and can
    stream both SD and HD using only Beyond TV, and I got rid of two USB things
    on that machine. The Wireless N adapter, and USB HDTV tuner, which can now
    be used elsewhere.

    Remember when we were kids and thought walkie-talkies were as cool as
    anything could be...

    Yep, it turns out they were just a precursor to cool! ;)

    If your viewing habits are anything like mine, just in time to NOT need to
    record anything :) All the good shows ended for the season!! That's cool
    though, you can add it to the BTV box, cant have too many tuners on that
    thing.

    Yeah, my queue for recording is pretty slim right now, but since I
    showsqueeze everything to DivX, my bedroom computer was able to playback
    recorded shows using Wireless N, provided they had already been squeezed.

    What I couldn't do with the machine in the bedroom was watch live HDTV or
    shows that had either just recorded or were in progress with recording. Now
    that I have that machine hard wired to the network, I can do everything
    with it that I can do with my DAW and HTPC, as far as video is concerned.

    That now makes it so I can run live HDTV on five different machines around
    the house. On the HTPC in my livingroom, DAW in the studio, Eee PC on
    Wireless N out on the patio, my kid's computer, and now my bedroom too.
