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.

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.
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.
