Surely it depends what else is going on on your network?

I use an Airport Express (new n standard) as a network extender plugged into my Slingbox and I watch it regularly for 1 or 2 hours both on LAN and remotely and have done for a while. Previously I used a cable to connect it to my router.

I honestly notice no real difference between the wireless and the cable, the real benefit from a remote perspective came when my provider increased my upstream speed.

Whilst I'm not saying it never hangs or slows, it doesn't do it enough to affect by viewing nor does it do it perceptively more than when it was cabled.

YMMV I guess.
