I have to say that I'm reluctant to move from what I have now to the
1212 simply because I have a good known working system right now. The
quality will be a bit better with the 1212, but I'm not sure how huge
an improvement it will be. Everything looks really good to me right
now. Colors look much better in high-def, but that aside, I'm quite
happy with svideo that comes out of my Satellite boxes.
And, and I run 1080i and 720p on my ATV running Mythbuntu without a
problem (with XvMC). You should be able to, too.
