I've been getting odd sound & video *only* during Eastenders (BBC1,
BBC3). This has been for the last month, and seemed to conside (or nearly 
coincide) with my upgrade from 0.17 to 0.18.1.

The oddities are very glitchy sound (stop-start, every 0.5s ish) and video 
(normal/slow speed every 0.5s ish). It happens during recordings and
"watch live tv".

I have no idea what to look for. It's really odd - it tends to coincide
with the start of the Eastenders lead-in (~20:00 on BBC1) and probably
finish around 20:30 (doesn't necessarily coincide with the actual end of 
Eastenders).

Does any of this sound like something you were seeing, james, or
something that could get fixed in 0.18.2? It seems odd that it should
coincide with a single programme, and be repeatable (the problem
survives mythtv restarts and, I think, reboots).

Cheers
