IMHO nVidia Ion is much better option. Especially for HDTV. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 10:43 PM, Helge Lenz <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:h.lenz@gmx.de">h.lenz@gmx.de</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

As long as nobody buys this box and opens it, we won&#39;t know.<br>

Dear list,<br>
<br>
<br>
I searched the Web but could not find a lot of reviews or tests about<br>
ARM based VDR systems.<br>
<br>
The goal is to have a VDR device which consumes the „least possible“<br>
amount of power. I heard that ARM based devices are good for this.<br>
<br>
Does anyone on this list have any experiences using ARM based devices?<br>
<br>
1. Since the boards are mostly small one needs to use mostly USB<br>
devices, doesn’t one?<br>
2. Is the performance high enough to playback SDTV? It should.<br>
3. What about HDTV?<br>
<br>
4. Especially the Beagle Board [1][2] was covered a lot in the press.<br>
But it is not completely free, i. e. the specifications and the<br>
toolchain is not freely available, is not it [3]? Sorry, if I am wrong<br>
about this.<br>
<br>
If there is any information I missed on the Web, please point me to it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
<br>
Paul<br>
