Woops I goofed.
Since you already have an HD card the problem is that MS has not yet
published to the general public the APIs that will be required to be
supported by the card driver to deliver HD encoded video to MCE. Only MS
can tell you what the specifications for their HDTV interface to MCE will
be, assuming that the have actually have got it finalized and are willing
to release it to OEM developers under non disclosure. I suggest that you
contact the manufacturer of your card to see what their plans are to support
HD MCE when it is released by MS (if ever) and if they don't plan to release
their own drivers then see if you can become an OEM driver developer for MS.
