Choppiness in LiveTV?
I also have choppiness in LiveTV... My PC is plenty fast enough to do the
res/quality I pick, but DMA is semi-enabled on my drives.... hdparm -d1
reports it as being on, but hdparm -i doesn't report it as being on....
...and my harddrives have a tiny buffer.... but I'm still not quite certain
what the problem is.

Steven, you'll find there's several users on the mailing list who experience
chops during LiveTV, but I think most of us are having different problems
manifesting themselves with the same symptoms...
