[QUOTE="dman_lfc, post: 153888, member: 10331"] Who said anything about MediaPortal only supporting one piece of hardware for this? It's a good strategy if you don't already have this hardware in place. If you have a higher spec'd HTPC then just stick to software & GPU acceleration if it's any good. The poll suggests people would need to upgrade or look to a h/w decoding solution thus suggesting something like this is worth investigating further. This h/w decoding solution can handle two streams at a time so take into consideration transcoding in the background whilst watching TV. I don't think the GPU could do that in parrallel. It's a user choice. We're not forcing people to buy it just gauging the market for acceptance of such a solution. HW-acceleration in current codecs is easy. AACS is not, however if we can leverage something we will however it may not be free. Ideally an integrated player is the prefered option. I hope we can get there. DMAN [/QUOTE]
