I'm one of these people.  I bought an ION a few months ago, and it
works great, except that Myth (with or without VDPAU)and XBMC,
mplayer, etc barf on about 1/2 my HD recordings due to my local
broadcasters using advanced MPEG2 telecine settings on their encoders.
The same files play just fine on ION in 7MC, and also on a Sigma
device.  I just wish I could get somebody interested in fixing it...
