Also, if someone would experiment to determine if the card can be used to playback bluray DVD's successfully with both h.264 and vc1 codecs..
This may happen to be a ‘bonus’, but cannot be reasonably expected, as 1080p output is not listed in the card’s technical specs. Nevertheless, provided the existing alternatives, this card seems to be very attractive for possible HDTV solutions.
I don't really need 1080p output, I'm looking for vc1 support, and working software for dvd / bluray playback, eg. mplayer output plugin, or similar.
I am trying to "hack" the ADB-3800 IPTV Box.

I have managed to "inject" my own H264 streams (1080i, HP@L4) into the box, and the box played them without problems on my FullHD TFT using the HDMI output. AC3 Audio worked also over the SPDIF/TOSLINK interface.
According to the specs the box can also decode VC1, but I don't have a software which can stream a VC-1 TS stream to the box.
Any ideas on what software I can steam VC-1? I have used VLC for h264 streaming, but it does not work with VC-1.
This box can be obtained from eBay, starting at 40 Euro.
Maybe this can be a good alternative for the eHD card.
