Quite a few people are using assorted EPIA boxes, but I'm assuming you're asking about the new ones with the Unichrome Pro CN400 graphics chips. Not sure how many folks have used those. > Are they capable of handling the encoding/decoding? Of? HDTV recording requires no encoding, you're just writing mpeg2 to disk. > Ideally it would be capable of handling HDTV. I don't think anyone has tried decoding HDTV with one of the new EPIAs w/the CN400 chipset. It'd definitely have to be done in hardware, there's nowhere near enough cpu there. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
