I am working with the Acer Aspire One as a combined FE/ BE machine.  I think
it will be fine at least for SDTV.  This for a netbook which sells for <300
USD.  It has a nice form factor, is fairly quiet (not silent) .  Also, if
you are traveling, you can just grab it and go as a portable viewer.  I
think the next generation of netbooks may be a great platform for MythTV and
HDTV.
