Depends on the codecs involved.  If you're slinging around MPEG-2 streams
that were broadcast OTA, they could take up to 20 Mbps, though 8-12 for the
primary stream is closer to typical.

Years ago, I wanted to connect a MythTV backend over WiFi.  802.11g wouldn't
cut it.  There theoretically should've been enough bandwidth, but I think
there was too much other nearby crap on the 2.4-GHz band that interfered.  I
was able to get decently reliable streaming of recorded TV when I switched
to 802.11a, as hardly anybody else (and nobody nearby) was using 5 GHz at
the time.
