720p blueray vs. 720p HDTV streaming wireless,, which one?

jhsrennie Wrote:I sample at a relatively low bitrate, typically 1600 to 1800 Kbps, and this gives file sizes of around 1GB/hour for 720p. Videophiles would probably regard this as too poor quality, though it seems fine to my non-videophile eyes.

with smaller lcd screen or further seating distance, you're more likely cannot tell the different. with larger hdtv screen or closer viewing distance, you'll be able to tell the lower bitrate and higher bitrate.

i preferred my bd file in iso or the orginal m2ts to preserve the original pq.

it worked fine wireless last night streaming.. so im presuming the powerlink adaptors (200mbps model) will only help when attached via eth0.

if you have a lot of wireless devices in the house, it's great to have a dedicated powerline for htpc. i get better result with linksys powerline than wireless, and it’s cheaper than buying 4 good quality wireless adapters too.

MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/) will tell you the bitrate.

So you have the linksys powerline system but you recommend the dlink? Do you have any experience with it?

i recommended dlink powerline because it is 500mbps. i know how better it is with my 200mbps linksys powerline compare to wireless. if linksys have the 300mbps or 500mbps version, i would properly recommend it but there isn't any.

i don't have dlink 500mbps powerline, but i have no doubt that it will be better than my 200mbps linksys!
