You can do this with satellite already. Pipe the TS stream from an HD DVB FTA source through a linux box running streamdev-server. From my tests, I could easily transmit a 1080i broadcast (raw ts stream) over ordinary 100mbit cat5. So for wireless, a good 802.11g router and receiver could handle the bandwidth of one channel at least. Also, the signal that comes off the LNB through the coax is that raw HD stream. So it's definately doable. Coax can handle at least 50mb/s, likely at lot more.
HDMI is just about content protection, not about any advancement in technology.
Seems like all of us could build a kick-ass settop box if the case for it ever existed. What I want is a decent looking black case that has the same measurements as a sony 100-disc changer and accepts standard motherboards, CD/DVD-ROM, a hard-drive, and LCD... well shielded too. Something like:

Why hasn't any manufacturer caught on to this yet?
Why do we still have to put up with refrigerator-grade PC cases.

If this poor gal lived anywhere besides the US, she would probably be just fine.
