I have been using Mythtv with no problems for about 2 months now.  Last
week, midway through VH1 Behind the Music: Brittney Spears, I started
getting weird pixelating and the video would skip around.  Darn her :)  (I
can't remember exactly, but I believe the video skipped backwards, making me
think this isn't just dropped frames.)  Ever since then, all my recordings
are experiencing these hiccups and skipping around about once every 10
seconds or so.  Any recordings that were made before then are fine.  
I didn't change any settings before this and had installed the release
version .12 about a week prior.  I have a 200g harddrive with about 150g
given to the partition for recordings.  DMA is enabled on both the hard
drive and the DVD-burner that shares the same IDE channel  (The pundit only
has 1 IDE channel)  The hard drive is currently 43% full, but was much less
full than that when the blips started with Brittney.  The computer is an
Pundit with a 2g celeron and a PVR250 set to 3500/6000 for capture rates and
352x480 for capture resolution.  I am not transcoding from MPEG2.  

Any ideas on what's going on?  I don't really want to reinstall right now,
but I don't know where to start since this isn't associated with any changes
I have made.
