I have been running a frontend in my living room over a network cable and I have to say I'm sure that the wireless (I only have A/B) would be able to keep up with my mpeg2ts stream for live TV. Don't have a remote yet, I currently using an RF wireless keyboard but I'm planning on switching over to a Snapstream Firefly RF remote.
