The problem with TV Out is the quality (i.e. there is none). I was running an EPIA box in my living room as a MythTV client for a while and the image quality wasn't very good (IMO).
Still no idea on power. I've run the power simulator at mini-box.com with 2 "high end video cards" added to the matrix and it is still within the limits of my power supply. IIRC they estimate 45 W each.
I received the cards yesterday and have started working up a new configuration on one of the boxes. The base operating system is installed so far. My install image is a few years old so I'm taking the opportunity to start from scratch and document it at the same time. I won't know how it will work until I get multi-user X-Window w/ fvwm configured and am able to run the additional MPEG-2 streams simultaneously.
