I'm not sure if VIA inbuilt graphics is ever up to the task of high power gfx, such as HDTV, depsite what the advertising says.
It would definitely be wise to wait for others to tell their eexperiences or even just buy one ITX board and test before committing yourself to more than one.

I went for the option of cheap HTPC style all in one motherboards using the nvidia 7050 chipset. Now you can even get these boards with the 8050 chipset. Couple that with a cheapish AMD CPU and low power using RMClock you'll probably have a much cheaper solution that still doesn't use much power and has better upgrade options.
