The nexus has no J2 connector and unfortunatly, the signals needed for
the RGB connector 
are extremely difficult to reach (under the BGA component)

Cooling is a bit a problem on Rev1.3 but a passive cooling could help.
Unfortunatly : a normal PC chassis is a nightmare if it comes to
cooling.

Note to RGB:

I will not combine the sp-dif with the RGB on one board due to the extra
costs for the
PCB design, second, my sp-dif solutrion will not contain a optical
output cause optical 
has more problems with jitter. Jitter 'killers' do exist but need to be
placed at the end
of the connection, so TV.

the coax solution offers just a better connection and I see no reason to
pay extra...
toslink modules are not that cheap...for a lower quality connection.
btw, using toslink modules is very easy.

RGB safety : I want a fool proof solution so..in case of voltage spikes
or even short
circuit, the DVB card should stand it.
