Steam Home Streaming

Anyone else tried it yet? I tried it on my wired home network with the game being streamed from my main pc to HTPC and it works really well. Tried valve games first - portal2/half life2 etc and it is butter smooth at 1920x1080 8xAA/16xAF with no lag whatsoever with an x360 controller. The HTPC struggles to render any game at 1080p otherwise as it has a lowly HD 6570. If you have a low power htpc and want to play games on it, you must try it for sure.
 
There was still noticeable input lag over even 300 Mbps Wifi with great signal strength when I last tried it in the beta. Maybe they have improved it, need to check. You can stream non-Steam games after adding them to Steam, which is great.
