[mythtvnz] Freeview hardware advice sought

Hi all,
I have a Via EPIA SP13000 system with a Hauppauge PVR-150 running MythDora
10.21 (a Fedora 10 based distro with Mythtv 0.21).  Mythtv is running as a
backend and frontend on the box.  It works well with my current setup.
I'm thinking about replacing the PVR-150 with a DVB board for Freeview.
My question is what would the list members recommend?
My EPIA system is low powered but the PVR-150 does its encoding in
hardware so I would think a DVB board would need to do the same.
I have no preference between satellite or terrestrial but I doubt my
system would handle terrestrial HD.
I would be interested to find out how much processing power is required
for a DVB.
Thanks in advance

Kerry
