It sounds like latency when attempting to query the seektable so it  
knows where to jump to. If the table is constantly being written to  
and not read for a while, mysql could take a while to retrieve the  
information you're looking for. In that respect, I would say it's a  
mysql issues and not a mythtv one and recommend tuning your database  
(look in the archives for ways of increasing caches, clearing out old  
data you don't need any more, etc).

Of course I could be completely wrong, but that's what it sounds like  
to me.
