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.
