The best solution there is to forget that you have the media
center PC and connect the other one to the TV via video card
with TV-Out, and connect the two systems by wire, not
wireless.  Wireless will inherantly be slower and suject to
occasional dropouts.  The slower part also reduces the
quality you can send to the TV from the media center PC, but
is again a reason not to use low-quality high compression
rather pulling the files across the wired lan to be played
by the PC next to the TV.
