  I'm assuming, that the reason there's a "encoding" and "decoding" being done 
for LiveTV, is to create one "read" mechanism for all cards and minimize the 
need for drivers?  I kinda find the mechanism an overkill, when all I'm doing 
is doing LiveTV.

  Another question, on LiveTV ... some of these cards, are actually equipped 
with "output" via S-Video.  Is it possible to use this mechanism as the 
"default" Display device.
