wait, so, does this mean they finally fixed the tearing issues? Because, frankly, it doesn't matter what definition the video is if the graphics drivers tear it apart before it hits the screen.

This is going to have some oem bundled proprietary playback software, so no fun for anyone trying to use this on worthwhile apps like myth...
maybe useful, but not as much as it could be.

Good point... Currently looking for well balanced choices of hardware for MythTV to include in the manual togehter with a few chapters on DVB (satellite and cable). I'm very interested in the answer on this topic.
By the way, I don't think they need their "own" player to guarantee a protected path,there are other sollutions possible.
Maybe bridgman can clarify this?
