I have an SP1300 - Mplayer plays 720x576 mpeg stream with 1% CPU usage, Xine 
uses about 5%, Myth uses about 10%. All using XVMC acceleration.

I have a PVR 150 (This get HOT so beware if it's in a small passively cooled 
case) in the PCI Slot which uses about 1.5% CPU when encoding so I can watch 
live TV with about 11.5% CPU.

Hope this helps
