  Also note (as far as I can remember) broadcasts/multicasts are sent 
out on 802.11 at the LOWEST speed the AP is configured for - or at least 
the lowest speed connected clients are using, so while you might have a 
54Mb base station talking to a client at 54mb, the multicast packets 
could be going out a 1mb.

  Try disabling the lower speed modes in your AP. If every one is using 
G try disabling the B mode altogether, as that will disable the slower 
speed modes and slow clients.

  In practice I've found I can't stream a 6mb DVB sourced stream over a 
802.11g connection. I'm waiting delivery of my A capable card so I can 
try it over the new Trimode AP near my office in 'A' mode.
