The "killer" card to have in my book (which if anyone knows of this
please speak up) would be a card capable of tv-out, mpeg2 
encoding/decoding (hardware), dolby 5.1 capable.

Basically a tivo on a card like the WinPVR stuff hauppauge makes, except
they are shit heads about drivers (no linux).  There's a market
there for some company to release a truly open product, although companies
seem to cry about "legal issues" and a product like that.  

oh well..
