If you pre-ordered, you spent $249 on a device that you still can't
use (not wanting to run unstable/experimental software) which is now
selling for $219. People can buy whatever they want. I think it's a
sound warning to say that the card won't work until there is support
for it. No one said there would never be support for it and I don't
think it was implied, either. That said, I wouldn't *expect* h264
hardware support in linux/mythtv any time soon. We're only
(relatively) recently getting OpenGL support in mythtv and that
technology has been around for about 15 years. :)
