Hey Todd, just an aside that the pauses are most likely caused by  
your wireless network. Most likely, you're trying to send too much  
data over your poor 802.11b network. This was happening to me, even  
on 802.11g, because I had settings cranked so high that the captured  
image actually appeared better than the live feed.  ;-)  Anyway, just  
lower the bitrate setting for "LiveTV" setting or the appropriate  
recording settings until the problem goes away. You may sacrifice a  
bit of picture quality but get rid of that annoying pause.  :-)

Cheers,
Brad
