I'm afraid I'm going to have to take back the fact that it works.  It  
did work for about 45 minutes and then the front end crashed.  When I  
started back up I got the stuttering all over again.  I'm at a  
complete loss.  On top of that, occasionally when I go to watch  
liveTV the front end will crash.  I start it up again and the next  
time it stays up.  Seems pretty random.
