Any thoughts?

VDR runs just fine on a seagate dockstar, so I see no reason why it shouldn't run on this device, but I don't believe that it has enough power show the TV signal via hdmi.

Not so sure, depending on driver availability: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/224132#2254607

OpenGL ES 2.0 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode

Well lets see, when it apears, if it will be available to normal people AND if the required driver will be there too.

broadcom? yea right, someone will likely have to be willing to buy 50,000 before they will even start producing them and then you'll need to be willing to buy 10-20,000 unless someone like digi-key decides to stock it. They made a cool tuner chip that handled most if not all current sat formats, but it never went to production because no one would commit to a insane quanity.

It's broadcom, so I doubt it: the wolf may lose his teeth but never his nature. At most (if anything) we'll get a binary blob tied to a specific kernel version with no possible upgrade path.
