I used to use a regular 802.11g to stream Netflix at full quality, making use of the most of a 600 kbit/sec DSL connection, no problems. The Tivo connects to the TV at 1080i, but im not sure if Netflix is full-on HD, maybe 720p at best. But, if you plan on storing videos onto it, like transcoding and storing it on the machine's hard disk, if it has one, yeah, going to want n. I ended up hardwiring my tivo just for the faster uploads.
But for Netflix at least, g is fine. Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.

I'm looking at buying a BluRay player that has an ethernet port so I can stream content from the Net. I want to make it wireless and have it connect to my wireless router. What do I need to do this? Another router that can act as a bridge?
