watching SDTV movie takes very little part of one core of any modern CPU 
including intel atom. encoding SDTV will take more but still not much.

watching HDTV should work on almost ANY modern PC CPU, including dual 
core/quad thread atom D525+included graphics, but with no other load as it 
will be close to saturating all cores/threads.

most people vastly underestimate power of modern CPUs.
