Sounds like you might need the "broken i420" hack.  You can try the following
to check and see:

If you're using SVN trunk, insert a row into your settings table like this:

	insert settings values ( 'BrokenI420Hack', '1', 'YOURFRONTENDHOSTNAME');

restart the frontend and test.

If you're using 0.20.x, then you'll need to edit libs/libmythtv/videoout_xv.cpp
and uncomment the line at the top that looks like this:

	#define USE_ATI_PROPRIETARY_DRIVER_XVIDEO_HACK

recompile, reinstall, etc. and test.
