Actually, 802.11a (and g, provided you don't have any 802.11b devices
bringing you down) should have plenty of bandwidth for an HDTV MPEG
stream.   HD is only about 9GB/hr -> 9663676416 B/hr -> 21474836bps -> 21mbps
This is well within the range of 802.11a or g.  But it would definitely
saturate your network.

Hmm, I think I'm going to have to upgrade my network from 100 to 1000..
