That I seriously doubt would work.  The mpeg decode step generally has 
to happen in the processor and that limits your bottom end which is 
probably going to be at least P4-class 2.4GHz or better before it is 
going to work for HD video.

Actually this is getting off-topic.  I'll take part of the blame, but 
this list is supposed to be about the pvrusb2 driver not MythTV.  There 
are other lists for MythTV - or if you have a lot of detail like I did 
one time when I set up my diskless multiple front-end config, put up a 
web page about it.
