I've already read it. Let me clarify my statement. There is no fully 
functional hardware mpeg2 decoder on the GF4MX that'll decode HDTV streams. 
To begin with, the full mpeg2 decode capabilities aren't supported by the 
Linux driver. Even if they were, that doesn't mean it'll handle HDTV streams. 
The PVR-350 has an mpeg2 decoder that *does* have Linux support, but it can't 
do a thing with HDTV streams.
