It does have the Sigma SMP8635, which supports the MPEG-4 Part 10, 1080p or High Profile (HiP) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264#Profiles. Which is good for when HD-DVD or Blu-Ray becomes affordable. Finding a device with this chip that runs linux and that is open is becoming harder as Microsoft appears to corner the market :( HD-TV dvb-s/dvb-s2 will never reach that profile, so I suspect that in buying a FF-card will only go up to 1080i or Main Profile (MP) and be useless for watching a HD content from a compact disc that is 1080p through vdr :( Unless there is a dxr3 like solution as an add-on pci/pci-express card.
