What about a Terminal-Solution based on a VIA EPIA?

You can set up a standard-PC with DVBs as server and a VIA EPIA connected by 
1000Base-T. As the software runs on the server you don't need any horsepowers 
on the Client.

I've set this up myself with a Celeron1100 (3x WinTV Nova-S) as server and 
Celeron500 as client. It's quite easy if you use XDMCP and ARTs. So you get 
video and sound on the client (ARTs is stereo only, if you want DTS/DD use a 
TOSLINK-cable from the server to the surround-system).
