Well I can tell you that this box can handle 1080i from both the HDHR and HDPVR (which is h.264, and can be rather intensive video to display). As far as 1080p, it should be able to handle it just fine, but my power line ethernet adapters cannot, so I have no way of testing it currently. If I ever get around to testing this I will add an update.
As far as how I like it, I love it. If you are looking for a frontend setup, hands down the greatest choice for a MythTV frontend. It makes me sad that my Master Backend/Frontend combo is in an Antec Fusion case (even though they are nice). I'd love to tuck that away into a box with more room and throw another Ion box in its place.
