I'm using a VIP 722k with my iPad 2 (and iPhone 4S) on my home wifi network.

However, when I'm using Dish Remote Access (on my iPad 2) to watch videos from my DVR, it's only showing around 2100 Kbps. (I'm using 802.11g but that's still capable of 54 Mbps...)

Is this normal?

When I play on my PC I get much, much higher bitrate...
