As far as the HD playback, I think it has to do with what type of signal
they are sending, 720p vs 1080i, but I can go in to Settings, Playback,
First Page and play with deinterlacing, Bob and Kernel, and extra audio
buffering and depending on what station playing with those settings lets me
view each one without any problems. Also upgrading to the latest version of
the nVidia driver helped me greatly. Let us know how it is going.
