Hmmm...there has been an address in the price-list, no ?!

And, this is not a card. This is a chip, afair. They place this chip
on a PCI riser card, at least this is what Allwell did with the MPEG2
option. By getting this card you get 2 PCI slots in the STB, plus
the MPEG4 decoder. If I remember correctly there is also a combined
TV-Tuner,MPEG4 decoder and PCI riser card.

Since Allwell's systems all run under Linux driven by some proprietary 
middleware it seems there is a driver for Liunx. Just do not ask me how
to get the sources, I do not know.
