Wireless Network/SageTV Client

[Beelzebub]

I just moved to a Townhouse, so my main computer is going to be in the Den. So I'm going to have to setup a client machine with a wireless network. If I understand correctly the best I can do is 11mbps. Is that enough to so run Sage client with the Same quality as SageTV. Also with this setup do I need to buy Sage Recorder or can my current copy of SageTV run as a server.
On other thougt, if I purchased a PVR-350 could I use that in the client machine as a 3rd source, the other 2 would be in the server.

OK the first thing is you need at least a 802.11g. G will transfer at 54mbps. Some companies have come out with a dual speed 802.11b that transfers a 22mbps but they were never very popular.

As for the client I just ran accross this problem and I not sure if Sage 2.0 will adress this. You need all your capture cards in one system, that is your Sage server. Then all you need a small client to run on each TV you want to see tv on. There is a way you can have a caputer card in each system, They explane it in the developers forum. I think I might try this today at home to see how it looks. It requiers you to buy sage recoder instead of Sage client.

Actually, I believe that it is addition to SageTV Client. SageRecorder will be controlled by the server and used to record. If you also want to view programming on that box, I believe you need a SageTV Client license as well.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this breaks down to this:
Your server box needs a copy of SageTV which allows recording and viewing.
Every box (other than the server) that you want to view tv on needs SageTV Client.
Every box (other than the server) that you want to capture/encode on needs SageRecorder.

I also am wondering about ErsatzTom's clarification.

FYI - I stream 2.5G/hr programs absolutly fine with 802.11b ... but it is a centrino laptop .... my other 802.11b cards don't stream well at all.
