I stream HD content from my computer upstairs to my HD TV downstairs using a 100Mbs connection. There is absolutely no studdering--just smooth playback. I record OTA broadcast and record directly from my cable Set Top Box using an HD-PVR to my computer and edit out the commercials. Even Blu-Ray can be streamed through 100Mps connection. A 1000Mps switch will do no good unless the router is also 1000Mps. Also a 1000Mps is much less than 10 times faster, more like 2-4 times at best. You are better off sticking with 100Mps unless you get a good deal. > Kjos, December 29, 2009, 3:07pm CST ;-) > > GK >
