    You can use PS3 media server ( serach PMS to find it and dont use the shorten version when you talk to your mates infront of girls gets totally awks ) Ps3 media server streams all teh movies and series to it and what i liekd about it it scaled to the quality of the episode so shitty 480P videos on a HD tv still looked very very good.

    Ive watched HD with no issues over wifi .. Takes a R300 investment .. get a Stream wifi module. Those that you plug into pwoer socket that then connects to your house WIFI and then you use Rj45 from that to your Ps3.. sorts most issues out.

    It's probably because I was using 801.2 b/g wifi clear across the house so the signal was pretty weak, and it would be slower than n (not sure if ps3 does n though), but I have since run some cat5e through the ceiling, so I don't have to rely on wifi at that end of the house.

    Yea, plan to run some more cat through the house.

    Currently have wifi in the house but only 1 lan cable between the tv and the playstation.
    Actually, seems "safer" this way as not so many things can oob me when I turn my back for a second.

    Why do you run lan cable from tv to the PS?

    He probably means one to share between the two...

    Why not get a cheap switch?
