Google announced their $99 Nexus Player device today:
http://www.google.com/nexus/player/

It is based on a quad core Atom processor (
http://blogs.intel.com/evangelists/2014/10/15/new-nexus/ ).    There was
nothing about it in this announcement, but based on past info it's supposed
to support HW accelerated MPEG2 (I guess the intel video is capable).

To me this looks really interesting as one of two possibilities:

1) If you can load Linux on it, it's a great little inexpensive x86 box for
standard Linux+mythfrontend

2) With good MPEG2 support, an Android MythTV frontend could make for a
nice streamer box for MythTV + Netflix/Amazon/HBO/Chromecast/etc.
