My opinion is that nvidia's ION platform with vdpau and XBMC gives the best result.

The question was about the best silent solution and a computer with just an Atom and a 9400 requires a lot less cooling than something with a discrete graphics card./Magnus H _______________________________________________vdr mailing listvdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
