Support for the MPEG decoder is getting dropped?  This alarms me.  I am 
currently using my 350's S-video output for all the video to my TV.  Is 
this going to quit working? 

I don't care if the change is transparent and the net effect is that the 
350 works the same but uses a different mechanism to provide its 
output... but can you spare a minute to clarify what dropping the MPEG 
decoder support will mean in practical terms?
