In my case, it doesn't seem related to CPU usage at all. Whether I'm at 100% 
because I'm playing one show (on the same machine), recording another and 
transcoding a third, or if there's nothing but live TV being shown on a 
separate frontend, the sync issue is the same.

I'll try upgrading the nvidia drivers, but it's hard to see how they could 
have an impact, given that I see the problem even when watching on a separate 
frontend -- even a frontend with an ATI card.

Thanks,
