1. A multimedia server module comprising:

  • an encoder module for generating an encoded signal from a multimedia input signal;

    a first transceiver module that modulates an encoded signal to produce a first radio frequency (RF) signal and that transmits the first RF signal, that includes a packetized video signal, to a client module over a first transceiver channel when the first transceiver module is in a transceive mode, the first transceiver module including;

    a first channel control module that performs a first channel scan during a quiet time between video packet acknowledgements when the first transceiver module is in a scan mode, that determines at least one performance parameter of the first transceiver channel and asserts a low performance signal when the at least one performance parameter compares unfavorably to a performance threshold, and that switches the first transceiver module to a selected alternative transceiver channel when the low performance signal is asserted;

    wherein the first transceiver channel is a channel of a broadband wireless access network that conforms to at least one of the following standards;

    802.11x, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX).
