Hi,

My money goes to an Asus Pundit. You may choose a Celeron or Pentium 
CPU. And you get a nice small box. Without the processor it's about 150 
Euros + VAT

I've going for a 2Ghz because it's the slowest (cheapest) I can get.

I've tried the mplayer dvb output and my current K-6  at 400 Mhz is not 
fast enough. (from what I've read < 1Ghz processors are not fast 
enough). And I've found quite convenient to use all the time the same 
video output.

If you only want VDR with one DVB-s (no mplayer stuff) my experience is 
that a (P3 or K-6) 400Mhz processor with 64 Mb RAM is good enough. 
Please note that a C3 processor is slower at this same clock speeed.

Just my two cents,

Miguel Sánchez
