Small quiet HDTV frontend (was Re: [mythtv-users]kernel 2.6.12support)

[Paul Bender]

Right now, I use a C3 + CLE266 for Myth with SDTV. In addition, I am 
testing a C3 + CN400 for Myth with HDTV. Both systems are diskless and 
fanless.

MythTV menu navigation is very responsive. Visualizations in MythMusic 
are slow, so I disable them. Image scaling and rendering in MythGallery 
is sluggish.

Paired with the CLE266, the C3 has no problem playing back SDTV 
recordings. Paired with the CN400, C3 has no problem playing back HDTV 
recordings, but the drivers are still experimental. This is because the 
CLE266 and the CN400 are doing all hard MPEG2 decoding work.
