What hardware decode assistance are you referring to for MPEG-2?

PVR-350: seems to be particular about the MPEG format, and if you don't
need analog capture (eg a DVB/HDTV only system) you wouldn't have one.

XvMC: there seems to be plenty of trouble with this still and it's
vendor-specific in parts too. Perhaps I'm overstating the situation.
