Well, sat channels are pretty much a non-starter in the UK unless you want
to watch 30-40 shopping channels, or speak German.

Yes. Even the Nova-T at about £95 is still pretty steep :/

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, but I think great leaps forward would be
made by some kind soul extending the existing MPlayer support to be a live
output device, then any mix-match of X11 / fbdev, dxr2, dxr3, etc. could be
supported immediately :/

Alternatively, DirectFB would seem to be an ideal candidate since it
supports libmpeg3 (plays MPEG1/2 video as well as MP3 audio) on current
popular chipsets like Savage3D/Matrox/Radeon/GeForce , etc.
