Just to make sure you're asking the question you think you're asking:
are you talking about something like an MPEG accelerator like a DXR3
or a Sigma Designs card?

I'm not sure what you're asking... Myth does not support any hardware
DE-coder cards. It does, however, support several hardware EN-coder cards.
There's also the TV-encoder, which is a fancy way of referring to the TV-out
on your video card. The hardware decoder cards supported by Myth are:

- MJPEG cards (Matrox G200, possibly others??)
- MPEG-2 cards (Hauppauge PVR-250 & PVR-350)

Ask around on the users list for recommendations regarding these cards
specifically and you'll probably get a good idea of the pros & cons of each.

This line should have read: "The hardware encoder cards..."

As the author eluded to earlier in the post.

I just bought a DC10+ (£53 UK-ebay) and I've got it working using hardware
mjpeg, after some minor frustrations.
My major frustration is the radeon 7000, whose TV out won't do anything
except Vesa, and from what I can tell, never will
Anyone reccomend a cheap TV-out card that will do xv etc? (or even better
tell me it's possible on my 7000!)
cheers
Mark

Ooops... I guess using "decoder" and "encoder" that many times in a single
message, my fingers got confused :-)
