[mythtv-users] Prebuffering Pause despite very little resource use?

I have a fairly beefy machine ( Dual core Athlon 64 6400+ ). My video card
is a GeForce 8400 GS and I am using the GLX binary drivers.

When playing HD 1080i MPEG2 content (source is DVB), it is only using 10%
Cpu. However, I am getting stuttering, with the dreaded "prebuffering pause"
message.

All storage is local, I have 2 GB memory, plenty of free CPU - why is this
message happening? How can I fix it?

I have tried every deinterlacer / decoding combination I can find, with no
help. Even disabling deinterlacing does not help.
