I worked for one of the big TV Makers and you're absolutely right. Brickville headed your way. Hell, we "bricked" some in the lab.
As for the processor, almost all of these high end TVs are MIPS procs, though I know for a fact some of the newer ones (last year or so) are now ARM. However, even the ARM systems are terribly slow. All of the magic of video decoding / encoding is handled in HW and the proc + SW is just barely able to show you a menu and maintain a list of channels / frequencies in the background.
Frankly, I don't imagine that most TV processors are running fast enough to get excited about.. I think they were in the 400 mhz / 128 mb of RAM.
