Has anyone approached the chipset manufacturer? My guess is that they
wouldn't want to open up their device. It couldn't hurt to ask them
though. The worse thing they could say is no.

I guess the heart of the matter is we would love to have an HD version of
the Hauppauge MVP. Whether that comes in the form of the Popcorn Hour,
SageTV HDA200, myka box (supposedly they're about to ship product), Neuros
Link/OSD2 or some other device. While the Nvidia Ion platform sounds
perfect for MythTV it sounds like they're not going to be cheap. Obviously
a $200-250 box is more appealing than a $500 box. Plus throw in the fact
that extenders require minimal setup and configuration compared to a
regular computer and it's a no brainer. It's a shame that manufacturers
are stuck in the old proprietary model are not always forthcoming in
divulging what makes their products tick.

The MVPMC developers have done a great job and should be commended.
Thanks guys!
