I've been using an EPIA M9000 with a PVR-250 as combined frontend / backend. It works really well for watching live tv and recording using the unichrome drivers. CPU usuage seems fairly low. It also fits in a nice case and is reasonably quiet. This is an older EPIA, however, and I don't think it would handle divx decoding / encoding very well. Perhaps the new M1000 or MII would do better. There's lots of EPIA info out there. A google search for EPIA and divx should give you some idea how they would handle.
