What solutions are there, preferably single chip solutions, for getting HD video over DVI/HDMI?
My googling is not giving me much, only about the Blackfin chip from Analog.
I know about the Propellor from Parallax and that it can give SD video out easily, and how FPGA's can do it too, but other than those three I do not know of any other single chip solutions that can give me HD video over DVI/HDMI.

The Spartan 6 FPGA certainly can drive HDMI/DVI signals directly, demonstrated in the Atlys board. I've personally driven 1920x1200 VGA from a Spartan 3A starter kit, but the signal wasn't very clean then. You're looking at very high bandwidth signals, however, so the boards must be designed carefully.
If this is for a single hobbyist build, you might be better off using a premade graphics card with its own framebuffer, for instance a USB one. DisplayLink comes to mind.
