I live in Europe but like to watch American sports, and the best way to do this is over the internet. I currently hook my netbook (the only computer I have at the moment) to my HD-ready TV. Unfortunately, the netbook can only connect to it via VGA, therefore I can't get HD quality. The processor (Intel Atom) wouldn't be strong enough anyway, though I can watch in low def.
Basically, what type of system would allow me to stream through my TV at HD quality? I saw someone ask a similar question where a Mini PC Android with a Cortex A9 processor was suggested, but I wonder if this is strong enough. I'm also concerned about weak WiFi reception on those.
For example, NHL GameCenter Live says to watch at the highest quality, the minimum is a "Pentium 4 2.4GHz or higher or equivalent AMD processor with a minimum of 1GB of memory." The Cortex A9 would be much less than that, but would the fact it's Android and not Windows be a factor? For a Mac, they say minimum is "Intel Core Duo 1.5GHz with a minimum of 1GB memory." I wonder about Linux too, as I know a good deal on a laptop with that and a Pentium B960, but I wonder if that would do as it's 2.2 GHz.
