I don't think my backend is getting overloaded. I only have a single
computer be/fe setup right now, and only the firewire recorder has the
glitch problem, my PVR-150 is fine and my HD3000 is fine, I can record
from those two at the same time with no problems as well. My CPU usage
usually sits around 80% when watching 1080i content, lower, ~50% for
720p content, and live tv raises that by ~5-10%.

I'll compile in those two patches, does it matter if I grab the latest
SVN to do so? Should I apply both patches at the same time or test
them seperately?

Thanks for your work and help with this Jim!
