The VIA Mini ITX boards fit that niche - ~600-1200MHz processor depending on model, onboard Unichrome graphics with MPEG2 acceleration (supported by MythTV), SVideo or RCA video out, analogue or SPDIF audio, onboard ethernet, and various other options dependant on which board you choose. I can watch Live TV (standard definition) from a DVB-T card with about 10% CPU usage. Transcoding chugs a bit on a processor like that, though - if that is a major concern, you might be better off looking elsewhere.
