Looking at the specs of the RaspberryPi, it looks like an ideal platform for aettop box, as it has enough memory(512MB), a quick enough CPU(700MHz to 1GHz) and hardware accelerated graphics, AND it is very low cost. Add a TV tuner to it and the cost is still sub £100. It has all the connectivity you could wish for:
Ethernet, USB x 2, HDMI and based on ARM v 6 SoC (Broadcom). It boots off an SD card, so setup should be quite easy, not requiring to flash the box, just make a new SD card installation. It already runs Raspbian which is a debian based Linux distro(several other distros available) and has a repository for getting all those well-loved Linux applications with the standard debian apt-get.
Would this be viable?
Any chance openpli might have a go at it?
enigma for raspberryPi?

No and this has been answered before, OpenPli sticks to MIPS-hardware and direct derivates thereoff.
The ARM-chips now also produced by Broadcom are a very different type of hardware and this takes considerable/long term effort to get this realized.

No, the reason is not that we stick to MIPS-hardware (most stb's just happen to be based on some MIPS platform)
But an stb needs dvb hardware, which the raspberry is lacking.
So it might be a good media player platform, but it will never be an stb.

Today I saw in Linux Format (april 2013) how to use an RPi for DVB-S en DVB-T reception en recordingNo, the reason is not that we stick to MIPS-hardware (most stb's just happen to be based on some MIPS platform)
But an stb needs dvb hardware, which the raspberry is lacking.
So it might be a good media player platform, but it will never be an stb.

Most close for enigma2 on raspberrypi = Kodi: (OpenELEC)
Get OpenELEC for your raspberry Pi: openelec.tv/get-openelec
Main wiki: kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi
Dreambox Dm8000 with all hardware addons donated to OpenPli. No interests anymore in policy of CanalDigitaal / M7 group and now-a-days channel encryption (like CI+ / HD+).
Good luck Enigma2 / OpenPli, it was fun with Sky Movies and so on, collected a nice collection of movies. Now back to basic boring lineair TV with KPN iTV (VDSL2 pair bonding 219 / 63 Mbps).
The VDSL pair bonding is excellent for... torrents to NAS in higher quality then HDTV (Like Dolby-TrueHD or DTS-Master-Audio soundquality )
