    I've got one of the recent ASUS chrome boxes and it seems to have
enough horsepower. There is an installer app provided by Intel that 
makes updating the GPU driver pretty easy. VAAPI seems to work well in 
other apps. Although I haven't tested a current version mythtv.

    It's running Ubuntu 14.04.

    SD-only really makes things a lot easier.
