We can make guesses and assumptions until the cows come home, but the fact
is, it *doesn't* support the older chipsets. Maybe they'll bring support to
those chipsets in the future, maybe not.

What they've just released is better than nothing (which is what we had
before) so I don't see the point complaining that it's not *enough* - it's
*something* after all.

And for the record, my frontend has an integrated NV 7050, so I miss out on
this functionality as well (unless I buy a new card, but there's no point
because the only HD I watch is MPEG-2 and my CPU is plenty fast enough for
that).Dean.
