I have had problems with CBS if I go straight to a CBS recording or straight 
to CBS in live TV. The audio is fine if you go to another channel, then back 
to CBS. Or, what I'm actually doing, switch to raw AC3 audio output to your 
amp.

Ah, okay, XvMC does offload a considerable amount of the work to the GPU.

To make HD really viable, I think you're going to have to look at replacing 
that motherboard and CPU with a faster combination.
