It didn't work out so well. Was very unstable when using hardware-accelerated playback. And frankly I don't really see any mini arm-based PC working quite as well as a regular Intel machine running a full-blown OS. Maybe and Android device would be workable.

But for now, I get the most utility with a mini Intel i5 box running full Windows 7. Tried Linux for a while, but flash sucks in it, and likely always will. And since a lot of web-based TV content is delivered via flash, that was that.
