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?

I have found a BBC iPlayer for enigma2. The first version works, but the resolution is hit and miss, so sometimes the picture is almost unwatchable (360x172 or somehting like that). However there is a, I believe, a much better version available, but I don't know whether I can put the link here as it is on another image.
At the moment I can't get it to work as it requires dns-resolver and lxml, which are not available on my OpenPli image and the 3 packages provided on a thread here at OpenPli will not install on my DM500HD (I think I am still on 2 and not 3), so I cant test any further. But it all looks quite promising. There are also versions for RTE and ITV and the one mentioned above is a threeplayer verion supporting all three in one plugin.

It will be great to make these work on OpenPli.
