Streaming through 10/100 mbps

[Ghost416]

Hi, sorry if this was answered before.

I going to get a Media box to stream movies from my PC to another room. I see a lot of the cheaper media boxes only have 10/100 mbps. I just want to make sure it's enough to stream 1080p movies. I'd think it would be but I just want to make sure.

Thanks for any help.

If you're using Ethernet it'll be fine. It's slow wifi that can cause issues.

Ye, unless you have crazy high bitrate bluray images you shouldn't have bandwidth issues.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be using a gigabit ethernet connection, not that it would make a difference for a 10/100 device.

100Mbit/s is still, if I recall, about twice the bitrate of a Bluray disc, so no reason to worry.

IME you need about 7.5MB/s for uncompressed 1080p video, so 60Mb/s is way under 100Mb/s. You'll be fine.
