There's a lot going on in the hardware accelerated HDTV area lately. 
Beside the two big graphic chipsets, there's the Intel Atom/Poulsbo 
chipset offering full HDTV acceleration at low power, the Intel G45 
chipset, the AMD 780G chipset, and a cooperation of NVidia and VIA for a 
new unnamed HD capable low cost chipset.

The question is: Which of them will offer decent open source drivers for 
HD decoding, and when?

Cheers,

Udo
