With 0.17, could be true. I'm extremely close to being able to play back HDTV
streams smoothly with plain xv on my secondary frontend, which is an Athlon
XP 1800 (shuffling hardware around as I type to see if switching from the
onboard/shared-memory GF4MX to an AGP GF4MX gives enough boost to get all the
way there). Someone else just recently reported using a 2100 and getting
smooth playback (using the libmpeg2 routines for decode).

It was recently upgraded to support MythTV 0.17, but that's all I know.
