I ripped about 100 or so DVD's onto a 2tb Terastation and streamed it through the house over the 802.11G Linksys with Speed Booster. Worked great throughout the house until the terastation took a dump. It should work fine for you...Not sure if we had tried any high def files, but I don't see that being an issue either.

Interestingly, I have nearly this identical setup.  I copy everything over the wireless network to a 2 GB Terastation.  There's a big block wall between my PC and TV these days.  Luckily, I've got my Terastation set up using RAID 5.  I lose 500 GB of storage, but theoretically I won't lose any data if mine ever decides to crash. 

BTW, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Buffalo network bridge.  For one thing, it's got a four-port switch built into it, so you can bridge four things.  And it's as cheap as anything else on the market.  And it is better reviewed than any other bridge.

I second that.  I've been using one of these for a year and a half.  I can do a Tivo show download and watch a streaming movie on my Xbox simultaneously with no problems.

I've got 4 old buffalo airstation g54's that I use to stream video throughout the house.  I've got 3 ReplayTVs and they stream with only the rarest hickup.

ChadTower:

It is a bad idea to post your specific firewall model number on the internet, and it's nearly as bad to post specific WAP model numbers.  If someone were local and didn't like you it's not that different than posting the model and tumbler code to your front door lock.

shmokes:
That's a bit melodramatic, I think. 

Linksys WRT54G.

I just posted the model and tumbler code to 50% of your wireless networks.
