It has 1.5x, 10x, 30x, and 120x... I do use it w/ gige and that is a necessity as w/ HD content, it will read at 10-30MB/sec when seeking... I have tried it over wireless (the built-in 11g and a 11n repeater) and it really doesn't work that well. I use a simple web interface with links to the raw MPEG2/AC3 MPEG-TS stream. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
