- 480p DVD resolution or did you encode at something higher? -- nm - oblique Jul 27, 08:53 8
  - I'm going to say yes but I'll be honest I'm not 100%. I use handbreak if that helps. hehe custom setting I got from a friend. - sycor Jul 27, 08:55 7
    - For that content, you could probably grab an Acer Revo. Anything with an ION or ION2 chipset should work very well - oblique Jul 27, 08:57 6
      - ok I have no idea what this thing is. lol. can it do netflix? does it need a PC? Can a 1TB drive be connected? - sycor Jul 27, 09:04 4
        
        It's a PC. You can run Windows on it (including Windows Media Center with Netflix) or XBMC if you want. You can connect USB drives to it for sure - oblique Jul 27, 09:06 3
        
        it's so tiny. wow. can it handle 720p TV shows? -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 09:07 2
        
        It has an NVIDIA 9000 series GPU in it (just like a system I have at home). It can playback 1080p recorded ATSC HD no problem - oblique Jul 27, 09:10 1
        
        interesting. ok something new to research. lol -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 09:11
      - btw, the ION based systems work great with either Linux or Windows -- nm - oblique Jul 27, 08:58
