[mythtv-users] MythTV backend running on NVIDIA Ka-el, 35W replaced by 1W

I'm sure there are others who have their backend on 24/7. Is anyone else
(esp the devs) intrigued by the idea of replacing a 35W CPU (+ additional
system power) with a 1W CPU with higher performance?

Their are bound to be some complications, for instance:
-how well Ka-el will handle multiple storage drives? Will storage perf
suffer?
-no std PCIe support so only USB tuners will be supported on this
platform. Although there may mini PCIe offered on some platforms.
-VDPAU drivers may not be released so a combined FE/BE is unlikely to
work.
I was surprised that I couldn't find any discussion of the backend running
on ARM but then again ARM CPUs have never had this kind of horsepower
before.
I lack the skills to pull this off myself but if any devs want to pick
this up, I'd gladly help where I can.
cheers,
