Even that isn't enough. I'm running ffmpeg and mplayer SVN and tuning to
the DTT channels.

720p channels play ok (ish) on a dual core

576i channels look awful due to poor support for the PAFF interlaced variant

1080i channel again has interlaced issues, plus my machine doesn't appear
to be powerful enough for it.
