OK, I can understand this. However, whenever I research information on XVMC (which I assume you suggest when you mention the nVidia cards), I see that it's current support sucks, that it crashes when doing ff or rew and that no one is working on fixing it.
So, is is true that there's no way to make a MythTV front end machine for HD that has low-end processor requirements along with hardware decode?
