Are you really sure the quality is better on the 750 with all else being equal? I admit not having an ATI 750 myself, but I find the quality of my 2250 is just great (with the encoder settings I listed... of course feel free to bump the rates up higher). The KWorld is clearly inferior.
The on-chip HD6310 graphics core is pretty low powered, but probably could help with encoding IF the encoder used it. However I suspect the Main Concept MPEG-2 encoder provided by Hauppauge is strictly a software encoder, and there's no method available to use any other encoder with NextPVR.
Yes, MPEG-2 encoding is mandatory - NPVR deals only with MPEG-2 Transport Streams. Digital broadcasts are already in the right format, while Analog tuners first require the video to be encoded to MPEG-2 (whether via an on-board hardware encoder or via Hauppauge's SoftPVR), and then the resulting program stream has to be muxed into a transport stream. The latter bit is why all analog tuners require softpvr, even if they have hardware encoders.
