Playback of the stream in mplayer and VLC are perfectly fine and flawless,
but playback of Myth's recorded files are not, indicating that packets are
being dropped or discarded inside Myth's backend when the program is being
recorded.

I'll see what I can do with verbose debugging, but is there anything I
should be looking for specifically? Any debugging options I should enable
for better feedback as to what's going on? Logging with -v
important,recording gives:

But there appears to be nothing untoward or out of place happening there,
so I'm not sure if that helps or not.
It's not being dropped at the NIC or kernel, as both NICs report 0 dropped
packets, and as mentioned neither MPlayer nor VLC have any issues with
dropped packets.
