Wireless G or 100Mb wired should be just fine for streaming anything, up to 1080p.

Look at it this way, take a 1080p movie, which say on average is 8GB. Figure that it's 2 hours long, so 7200 seconds. That's a bit over 1MB/sec to stream it over the network. Even if my figures are conservative, I don't think you'd even be going over 1.5MB/s to stream 1080p. That might be a bit of strain on an 802.11g network, but it should still work just fine. Doing it over copper at 100MB will be no problem whatsoever. 720p files are about half the size, which is even easier on a network.
