[mythtv-users] driving 1080i with 540p interlacing...

-] Not that I know of, and probably because there's no point in

I'm not trying to decode HDTV video streams, I just want to have a front
end that can display on my HDTV at a 16:9 aspect ratio via the RGB H/V
inputs.

Speaking of computing horsepower...Would a Via Epia-M be able to handle
the following:

LiveTV?
Recorded Playback?
DivX Playback?
MPEG2/4 Playback?

Thoughts?  I'd really like to have a fanless, completely silent
front-end PC and I thought the Epia-M was going to give me what I
wanted.  Has anybody set up a front-end on an E-M?
