Much faster setup than Windows! Unfortunately the little Eee doesn't quite have enough grunt to decode and display H264 encoded programs (HDTV - you need a Core 2 Due to do that properly), but it only eats up about 40% of the 701's Celeron CPU decoding and displaying SDTV at full-screen. Very smooth, clear and great. Works pretty well on the move too! Co-exists with Compiz Fusion quite happily as well.
