Yes, I realise that Gnu/Linux doesn't currently have h.264 acceleration
for any graphics cards. What I am trying to establish is whether,
assuming that everything goes wonderfully and Gnu/Linux ends up with the
maximum amount of acceleration possible, would my machine be able to
play it.

I live on Auckland's North Shore.

Also, I was wondering whether there is a software "Satellite signal
strength meter" for Gnu/Linux?

Thanks again,

Aaron
