I saw that review. The box I want to put it doesn’t do anything except record and playback shows (4 HD streams and 2 NTSC). Video decoding is offloaded onto an ATI card, so the processor doesn’t really take any hits. It’s running an old AMD X2 4600+ 65w CPU, but I’m tempted to bump it to a 35w Intel and try and lower the power signature even more on it. I could probably ditch the ATI card too and use Intel HD graphics for playback and really lower the footprint. I do all my transcoding and power work on my i5 system.
