[mythtv-users] Abilities of the VIA motherboards

[Chris Ward]

When looking out at http://pvrhw.goldfish.org on the hardware database, people only give the VIA based boards about a 6 fairly consistantly. Is it fair to assume that the numbers are before the recent update in drivers? Would people rate them better now? 

Also, do the current issues of output limitations from the music visualizations and dvd's and divix that I have read about when using the PVR350 also apply to the video out on the VIA boards? Is it also a matter of be patient, people are working on it? 

I see that a few people on the list do use these boards, so I was wondering what they thought of the capabilities of them vs a full computer system. They are certainly a lot smaller and cheaper (and lower CPU freq) if you are buying a system from scratch.
