I too am using the EM6000.  I can watch live TV at
352x240 with no problems (although there are artifacts
on the screen, it is tolerable) (28" TV).  I'm going
to get an M179 card for my back end and see if that
will make much of a difference.  The front-end system
is using mini-myth (www.linpvr.org) which supposedly
has the hardware decoding functioning.
