Hi...
I've always been a firm believer of using hardware to do the work! so
you would be best to purchase yourself the MPEG-4 decoder however, make
sure that the DVB-T device you purchase is compatible with Linux! for
more details on this you may wish to have a look at the following
website for some guidance...
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (there is a lot of
information on this wiki!) and also Me TV is just the GUI front-end
viewer application, the decoding is done by your DVB-T/C/S/ATSC device!
I also think that it would be unlikely that you would be able to decode
a MPEG-4 stream using a MPEG-2 device?
