Anyone use the VIA Ex10000 board yet?
Currently BTV runs on my main home computer and we access the computer using thin clients when someone is watching TV. This is great for everything but video or games.
I'm looking at spinning off BTV from my main computer and I wanted something nearly silent. I've been looking at the new VIA EX10000 or EX15000 motherboards. These have integreated video and attached DVI / Component, TOSLINK and via claims they are good to go for HD. So my question is has anyone actually tried one either as BTV main box or BTV link?
The upside is that they draw like 20 watts and come in a mini-ITX factor, if I use an 8GB flash drive I can build a HD link machine with no moving parts.
Beacuse of the $200 price tag I don't want to buy one unless I know it can handle 1080i without getting all jittery.
Any thoughts would be welcome
