I don't think you need quad core. My dual core Asus at3 ion mobo with cpu
does hd playback (no idea of the codec) but it also has a nvidia gpu

I had a MythTV system set up with 4 tuners for a long time. Unfortunately I've
had to move to cable/TiVo now which means better TV but terrible interface (in
