Pants.  My revo will be affected...

Anyone got any good, small, vlow power, HD-in-hardware capable suggestions
so that I can pick it up cheap on ebay in a few years ;-).  Ideally
something that has good open source drivers that people might maintain.

Presently my Revo R3610 is home server, Mythbox, ELK, general test bed host
that draws less than 20W.  I swapped the harddrive for a 1TB to store
recordings on.  Video/images/music is on an NFS share.

My tuners are USB and good for a while I assume.
