Let's not exaggerate.
My favorite machine is Celeron powered
The DFI G5M100-N is under € 250 A Celeron M 1.3 GHz is under € 100
You don't need a Pentium M for VDR, the Celeron M is quite a powerful CPU, probably more powerful than any VIA Epia CPU.
And will it play HDTV streams at 1.3 Ghz? Without hw acceleration my VIA M10000 is used at 60-80% on live TV or DVD playback. OK it is not a Celeron but I have seen Celeron M usage figures for mpeg2 playback over 50% CPU. What happens when you have other processus running (vdradmin and epg scan springs to mind)?
When you max out a M10000 it gets hot. I would not want a machine using over 50% CPU on a regular basis in a cabinet under my TV... VIA may be what it is but one thing going for them is HW mpeg2 acceleration.
