Hey Isaac, this is slightly OT, but I thought you might have some insight,
being as you hang out on the ivtv list. On the ivtv list it was indicated
that one of the things on the todo/wish list was to add support for the HW
decoder on the rev1 PVR-250/Freestyle. That was the only mention of the
Freestyle decoder I could find there. Any idea of the likelihood of this
happening, and what different challenges it would present to Myth, seeing as
it doesn't have integrated TV-out? Would supporting such a beast necessarily
include adding framebuffer output support to Myth?
Just curious.
