Of course, even if you got 3-4mbps up, that is really streching the limits of usability. Search for people's experience with frontend over 802.11b to get an idea of what you are up against.
Of course, that is somewhat irrelevant. Unless you have a dedicated a) A dedicated T3 for each backend, or b) Are willing to put up with really crappy video quality, you aren't going to be able to remotely stream live tv.

So, each backend can use a local filesystem for storage. However, IMHO,
if your upstream bandwidth isn't great enough to support real-time
playback, watching will be a challenge.
