Some routers are multicast crippled on wi-fi..  if you have a
multicast enable setting somewhere, enable it on the wlan..  also, if
mythtv is on wired, and ps3 is on wireless (like you said), then
suitable properties must be set..  Some routers do not allow this..

Anyhow, it is more than likely a bridging (passing  multicast) issue
between your wired and wireless segments..
