A "second decoder" doesn't have to mean hardware. I doubt the A1 had a specific dedicated video decoder, it probably just used otherwise unused / spare CPU capacity to decode the second AV stream.

This whole business of the BDA not requiring a whole lot is quite bothersome and I just don't see why they needed to require all the hardware up front.

I have to ask though, where the h*ll is managed copy?! Even if it's supposedly there, it doesn't seem to be available for either format, and it seems to be the biggest letdown of the HD formats.
