for hdtv - no. I don't see the h.264 hardware decoding. mpeg4 is not h.264.
Maybe this thing can be hacked to run vdr or to be used as a front-end: http://www.popcornhour.com/
The popcornhour device (network media tank) is not linux :(
I read somewhere that it runs Linux, maybe they were wrong but I doubt you can pack that kind of hardware and embed windows at that price point. Of course the fact that runs linux (if it does) doesn't mean it's open: as I already said these companies (sigma, broadcom) only take from linux to reduce their development cost but never give back, not even a single line of specifications for their hardware.
