Bad Idea

Even using 802.11g under perfect conditions using wireless to
record to your HD you couldn't do anything else with the
wireless and probably not the computer either.

If the wireless connection is not great and requires the
connections to bounce between negotiated speeds, plan on
dropped packets, video glitches, ect. If your neighbor gets a
wireless router and is on the same channel, there goes your
video stream.

Of course, most wireless connections are by default on channel
6. How many consumers will bother to change the channel?
While there are 11 channels, only 3 of them do not overlap
(channels 1,6, & 11). So if you live in a crouded area or an
apartment, better hope that nobody has access points nearby.
