I wonder how you can play decenlty a 1280x720 video with your configuration. As far as I know, Intel provides official open source device drivers which supports MPEG2 hardware acceleration on Intel's 8xx/9xx range of integrated graphics chips, via the XvMC API. Unfortunately, Intel hardware is not capable of h264 hardware decoding (like nvidia through VDPAU), but the good news is that according to the mplayer output you posted in the last message, in your country HD video is broadcast in MPEG2. You should definitly try to set up the Intel driver in order to have a decent video output for HD broadcast. How to do it, depends on which distro you're using. Most recent distros already ships the driver by default, with some others you have to install a package. A simple way to discover which xorg video driver you are using at present is to take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log To see which video card is built in your eeebox, take a look at the output of 'lspci'.
