This happens to me some of the time and I have an Athlon 2400, with
Hauppauge PVR-350.  That should be enough to keep the framerate from being
an issue.  It sometimes happens for me when attempting to commercial skip,
other times when just fast forwarding around in a program.  I'm using the
most current apt packages.
