There are lots of nice little ARM systems for small money on offer. To run mythfrontend you need memory (keep in mind that the memory is shared between CPU and GPU!) and a fast CPU or supported GPU video decoding API.

System on Chip Processor CPU Cores GPU Cores Memory Ubuntu 3D API Video API Notes
Raspberry PI 2 Model B

Raspberry Pi

Broadcom BCM2836 Cortex-A7 Quad core Videocore 4 1 GiB Snappy Core alpha-02 available OpenGL ES 2.0 OpenMAX working HDMI-CEC
Raspberry PI Model B

Raspberry Pi

Broadcom BCM2835 ARM1176JZFS 700MHz Videocore 4 512 MiB no OpenGL ES 2.0 OpenMAX working HDMI-CEC
MiniX NEO X5 Rockchip RK3066 Cortex-A9 Dual core Mali 400 Quad core 1 GiB DDR3 12.10 images available Also has a VPU but it appears it is not yet supported
Wandboard Quad Freescale i.MX6 Quad Cortex-A9 Quad core Vivante GC2000 videocore 2 GiB DDR3 14.04 LTS images available Freescale's own with sample code available HDMI-CEC (rounting was fixed on dual and quad only!)
ODROID-C1 Cortex-A5 Quad core 1.5 GHz Mali 450 MP2 1 GiB Ubuntu 14.04 OpenGL ES 2.0 custom AMLogic API with sample code in Kodi (with H.264/H.265 support at 1080p60!) Infrared(IR) Receiver with dedicated remote, HDMI-CEC need hardware fix!
Banana Pi M1(+) Cortex-A7 Dual-core Mali 400 MP2 1 GiB unknown Lubuntu release with unknown hardware support OpenGL ES 2.0 unknown to non-existent GBit networking and SATA 2.0 to make it a backend, also IR receiver and HDMI-CEC
