There is a good solution but it needs work. Popcorn Hour (and compatible) networked media tanks can replay SD/HD content, on there has been work ongoing to fix vdr-streamdev to provide proper TS-stream. PCH is light client, some people has measured 12W power on HDD spun up and playing stream. PCH is a Linux based settop-box where you can get access to shell level and even crosscompile programs with toolchains. Box is about 27x13x3cm. HDD is optional but you should install it for best benefit. (http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/index.php?pluginoption=catalog&task= info&item_id=6&main_id=0) What is needed is Vomp-like or VDRadmin-am-like user interface for streams and files. It would make PCH as a top alternative of todays front-end for VDR, and in general a front end to all media you have. For GB-PVR there is already some work done. http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardware/NMT With this device you can discard HTPC's at once unless you do web browsing with your TV-set.
