A few things:

 

- Try the RPi again, but install the latest OpenElec beta with XBMC Gotham. See if that picks up DVBViewer.

 

- See if there's an alternative backend? There are plugins that let you use Windows Media Centre as a backend nowadays. If you're willing to use Linux, check out TVHeadend. I don't know if it's possible to install in a virtual machine and have the DVB card run in passthrough, though.

 

- AMD's AM1 platform is going to appear shortly. That's a motherboard and user-replaceable CPU for very cheap (the Sempron model will be about £30...). They're meant to be released in early April.

I don't know it's really strange t will play the sound although won't show the video. I'm guessing its a codec problem but can't find a single thing online to see how to make it work.

Did you purchase the MPEG-2 and VC-1 license for the raspberry pi as these might be needed to get video playback working.

 

If you have a spare 2.5" HDD you could get this Intel Nuc DN2820FYKH - Tranquil PC Limited Store just needs some DDR3L SODIMM 1.35V.

NUC + Openelec + TVheadend + Harmony Smart remote is about the most perfect setup you can get.

 

Add Deluge & Flexget to that and then you'd have the most perfect setup :)

The Acer Revo's still seem to go for more than £100 on ebay :( My brothers phone which has XBMC on it plays DVBviewer perfectly fine problem being no remote control support :(!!

 

You can get the XBMC Android/iPhone Remote app. I think there is a official one for android.
