Okay, reverted back to 2.6.15 and nvidia's 7676 (they work fine 
together) and the difference is, to say the least, dramatic.

Based on the fact that both CPU's are staying at 1/2 speed (amd 
cool/quiet), I think it would be fair to say that kernel 2.6.15 w/ 
nvidia 7676 drivers has fixed the problem for me.  I'll know for sure 
after Monday night.  For some reason, the highest bandwidth show I've 
seen is CSI Miami.  (nearly 10Gb/hour at 1080i!) 

Also, now getting a new error trying to watch live TV.  Tons of:

[mpegvideo_xvmc @ 0x2aaaabf2cd70]get_buffer() failed (1 1073741824 2 (nil))
2006-05-07 15:22:49.424 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error

I'll try to recompile mythtv and see if that magically goes away.  (It's 
not unusual for odd things to happen when changing kernel versions 
backwards.)

Unfortunately, none of this gets me any closer to understanding what 
"prebuffering pause" means. :(
