fe/be combined

cannot test HDTV - only broadcaster here is euro1080 and i have no access
i also have no hd display.

looking at the CPU load for 720x576, X is using about 12% and mythfrontend is 
using about 10%. this is with analogue cable (crappy signal) and a PVR350 
with a bitrate of 4500/6000 (default). if i drop that to 2000/3000, the CPU 
load for mythfrontend goes down to 7-8%.

this is with a 1.87GHz pentium-M and 2x 512M DDR2 533 CL4

i would believe that this m/b should handle HDTV (and aopen says so also)
