I have epic1K and am very happen with it. It works great. Only last week I installed MythDora which works right out of the box include openChorme which is part of Xorg distribution an ivtv, as well as ATI remoter. Ok, some twisting are need to get the remote to work and a litter bit changes in
xorg.conf to take advantage of the noscale TV output. openChorme was created when unichrome project dropped mpeg2 support from its code.<br>The 1300 is capable of HD decoding. No mpeg4 supported for now but CPU is capable of decoding it. Get PVR 150 or 500 and you will have no problem to have compete myth box.

<div style="direction: ltr;">Greg (or others),<br><br>maybe you can clear up some confusion:<br><br>Unichrome? Openchrome? Which to use? Why two different projects? Does anything take advantage of the mpeg4 acceleration that the CN400 chipset provides?
<br><br>I know of a few distros that were either slanted towards, supported or specifically targeted at the via epia series: epios, minimyth, imedia, knoppmyth. Is any of these worth starting with? I need my box to be both front and backends (so I think that knocks out Larry Matter's minimyth).

I have an SP13000 and with FC4, ATRPMS and epia/unichrome rpms<br>(<a href="http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia</a>) it works fine.
<br><br>I still have an issue with my TV out being a little out, but it is
<br>more than watchable.<br><br>Works, is quite and does appear to use much power.
