[mythtv-users] VIA MII 1000 and PVR 150

[Jake Thompson]

Thanks for the info, sounds like the info I gathered.  The openchrome
project has the XvMC driver, so I will be trying that.  How was the CPU
usage when using XvMC, I am hoping that it is relatively low.
I am not doing HD, that will be a whole other project, need to tackle this
one first.
