I notice that I get the same stuttering in a recorded ATSC program,  
however the trick of pressing pause for a few seconds while watching  
live tv seems to work.  This really seems like it must point to a  
limitation within mythtv and the buffer.  I'm curious though because  
it seems some people don't have the problem.  I would love it if  
someone who knew what they were doing could lay out a good way to  
debug this.

In case you have anything similar, this is the system I'm running on...

MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Motherboard
512Mb Kingston Memory
Dedicated buffer partition on SATA drive of 1GB

Fedora Core 4, Vanilla Kernel 2.6.13.4 with config options...
