This sounds like exactly what I'm seeing. However, HD and SD live tv
plays back fine. One thing I did notice is that even though XvMC is
enabled, and the logs seem to indicate it's on, I get a color OSD, so I
pretty much assume something is wrong. I'm about to play with it now.
Maybe find something later this evening.
