[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 57383, member: 14776"] It shure is cool. But I think that most projects are on a "hamper stage". Such as decoding OTA HD tv in 1/40 of real time. In order to use it in MP, you would have to have not only working algorithms, but also windows drivers that are fast and robust. And since all processing is done in the pc instead of dedicated hardware (dsp/asic), youd have to optimize the software and/or run a really fast PC. But it shure is promising. Say goodbye to cranky ATI tv-tuners and wlan cards that suddenly arent updated anymore. Replace all logic with open source code that is written by night by dedicated people. I suspect that it is going to be really popular in shady circles. Those who want to get free tv channels, for instance. But also those who dont like the way tv channels treat their customers (only allowing certain decoders, no HTPC etc). For those, this card could be worth its money even if it is expensive, as no other boxes does what it could do with a little clever programming. In fact, say goodbye to the never ending hardware update craze and pile of gear that keeps cluttering the desktop/living room as well as usb bus. One single (albeit expensive, inefficient and big) box does it all, just like the PC did in 1984 for computing tasks. Only problem is getting antennas and ultra-high-rate A/D converters and a really fast x86 CPU =) regards knut [/QUOTE]
