Just an update on this - I have just installed new Cat5e cable, so:

PC > Cat5e > Superhub > Cat5e > media player.

I'm still only achieving approx 19MB/s over the network. A 12.5GB file is taking approx 12 mins to transfer. However, some digging about suggests the media player is limited by it's CPU as suggested by Dragon.
Users on the Popcorn Hour forum that submit speeds tests for the unit @ gigabit to their Wiki, mention they are transferring at 16MB/s and submit that as 'working OK' so I can only presume that's my lot.
To sum up - yeah, everything is doing it's thing as it should be.
