Hi. My opinion is that nvidia's ION platform with vdpau and XBMC
gives the best result. The atom's cpu load is <10% playing 1080p h264 so forget the 3GHz core2 unless you want to play Flash HD movies or other non-vdpau formats.
Isn't Flash HD content usually encoded in H.264? That's the case in youtube, at least, and the clips play fine using vdpau decoding in
mplayer.
It's not very cheap yet but you can build a fanless one for €200. For
example a http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/1072 together with 2G ram and a pico-psu.

What GPU does the nvidia ION A type board have? Wikipedia lists it as NVIDIA PureVideo HD. And if you look that up on wikipedia then it could be any of the GPUs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo#Table_of_PureVideo_.28HD.29_ GPUs
It's a 9400.
Ideally you would like to have the 9400/9500 type GPU that can do both h264 and VC1.
From what I could read about Flash HD, is that the limitation seems to be from the Adobe plugin (on windows) that does not do hardware acceleration for h264 (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=135840). But if we use mplayer or Xine to, then it should in theory it should be able to do Flash HD?
Sorry, my mistake. I didn't know flash movies were h264. It's just a problem for the poor souls that are stuck with windows then.
What is your setup like? Do you use VDR as the main application or do you use something like XBMC with VDR or do you load a plugin on VDR to play flash type movies? Which output plugin do you guys use? I currently use xineliboutput 1.0.4. It does have its short comings but very good for Live TV.
I have a vdr server that runs xineliboutput and streamdev, both from cvs. Then I use vdr-sxfe or xbmc on my diskless clients. Mostly vdr-sxfe for SD tv and xbmc for everything else. /Magnus
