I have the same problem (flickering with an NVidia card), but for me it
only happens with MPEG2 encoded programs.  All shows that have been
transcoded to MPEG4 work just fine.  This means that on the MPEG2 tuner
card I can't watch live programs, but everything is fine a few hours
later.  As a workaround I watch live programs on the cheap tuner card
from which video is encoded to RTjpeg since RTjpeg also works fine.

For the rest of you with problems, does it clear up when you transcode
to MPEG4?
