Well, you don't have to buy the card if you would wake up in cold sweat every once in a while because of the small binary-only part in the kernel.
But IMO you can wait until the end of time for a full open source HDTV card with HDMI output. If you have the time... ;-)
Agreed on all your points. In the end the "firmware" of this card is more open then the one of the Nowadays common FF cards - so what ? I'm caring only for two things at the moment:
1.) That the card comes and can also be bought 2.) That the card fits into my budget (That i can and want to pay it)
To my understanding its just about feeding the stream into the card.
Another thing: Will it have a proper framebuffer ? I mean the main problem of the current FF cards is that you can't do a lot of things because of the very limited OSD. ScumVM etc pp would be a really nice thing.
Just my two cents - Steffen
