I guess I need to ask Regis about Enensys' plans for M/H support on
these units.
As to the studly PC, that's mostly due to the USB interface, and I
suspect that the upper bit limit on DVB-T/H would prevent that from
being much of an issue. Even SCTE transport streams aren't usually
above 38 mb/sec.
Even the Dektec PCI cards (which do less hardware processing than do
the DVEO/Computer modules hardware cards) have no problem rendering a
single program service on my 2.66 ghz single core Celeron box. USB is
a whole different matter, though.

The Enensys Divicatch ASI works with VLC. In fact, there's a copy of VLC
on the Divicatch installation disk. Of course, you need a truly studly PC
to play back high bitrate streams.

And, I should point out, I know of no plug-ins for Windows Media Player or
VLC that provide this functionality either. Part of the problem is the "up
to 216 mb/sec" nature of DVB-ASI. Much simpler to figure out which program
service within the transport stream to render than to process the entire
transport stream. That's what non-professional gear does.
What you are referring to is the creation and analysis tasks of the 1990's,
and in non-broadcast environments.
In broadcast environments at least, they are much different these days, and
DVB-ASI (and to a small extent, SMPTE-310) are simply required.
