Meaning you won't get the hardware decoder usage, but if you have a
system that can't decode 480i60 (or 576i50) at a max of 9.6Mbps in real
time, you shouldn't be using it for Myth.  It might make a nice firewall
or router--that is, if you like to spend 10 times as much electricity
running it as you would running a firewall/router dedicated appliance.
