Two differences here:

1. Silverlight can use the GPU to offload video decode / scaling
2. Flash uses nearest neighbor to resize video. It is a CPU pig.

I still don't understand what the big deal is - many vendors have been
deploying Flash on STBs in the past (on the DOM or flash, not on the
chipset).

At least you can upgrade the version on the flash/DOM...
