Guy Kewney notes that stream video over WiFi using one of those new battery-powered wireless LCD televisions from Sharp that you can carry around the house with you has one significant downside: it cuts the data capacity of the rest of your wireless network (assuming you have one) in half:
The set uses Sharp’s SmartLink wireless digital audio video transmission system, which operates on the 802.11b wireless standard. It allows users to connect the transmitter to a video source, such as a DVD player, and watch their favourite movie or TV show in any room of the house. Some will probably be pleased to see digital sending move from broad spectrum coverage to a WiFi channel, leaving the other channels open for data; but the reality is that streaming video over one channel will pretty much halve the data capacity of the access point.
