There's been some discussion on the list in the last 3 months -- you'll 
probably find it in the archives -- about running the FE on a Raspberry Pi;
even after you get done putting a case and wallwart on it, that's about a
$60-75 proposition, so it would be really nice.  I don't know what the
current hacking status on that is, though.  I suspect it might end up
being limited to SDTV, if you can make it work at all.

No doubt someome who knows will chime in on this.

Cheers,
