    Hi Everyone,

    I am pretty new to Media Center and am using Win7 MC with my LG CRT (Widescreen) TV connected to my network via N Wireless Lan.
    I have it running perfectly using 720x480 @30hz.

    Recently I installed a 4tb NAS on to my network that is connected at the full 100mbps connection rate and am having problems playing back recorded TV and video files.
    It starts playing fine for about 30seconds, then starts getting jumpy and then I get an error saying that media center cannot play the file. I have tried disableing all firewalls (router and McAfee).

    I have tested on my Win7 laptop with media center playing the same files over a wireless N connection and it streams perfectly. There are only pauses when I skip through ads.

    Is this because of the 30HZ refresh rate I need to use for my TV? I have tried going higher but the TV screen goes weird and jiberish.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do to (besides buying a new TV)?
    Anyone else had this experience before?

    Are there any settings I can change?
    I would love to get this working.

    Here is some additional info on my setup.
     - Belkin Wireless N Modem/Router (F5D8636-4) with WPA2PSK-AES security
     - Dell InspironTM 560s Desktop (with 6GB memory & Dell Wireless N Card)

    All help is greatfully received.
    Thanks in advance.
