Yes, it does hardware MPEG2 decoding, but I don't think it can handle
HD resolutions, only SD.

I have used the 1501 and it runs fine under xp - using mdpai/vplug it will decrypt all channels np - it's not quite as good as a floppydtv/joker combo but it is a third of the price and on anything less than 32" I doubt u woudl see the difference

Neither Floppy or TT1501 have any influence on the video quality. That's determined by the specific codec and output hardware.
I used a TT1500 myself and was very happy with it, and I'm pretty sure I'll put a 1501 in my next HTPC.
