Sorry, I should have mentioned that it's via a firewire connection to a 
Motorola 6200. I have it on a broadcast connection at 400 bps(? can't 
recall what the units are). The broadcast is definitely in HD - CBC 209 
here in Vancouver.

Well, it seems if I let the channel play for a minute or so, then hit 
rewind very briefly and then play, the jerky motion disappears and the 
hockey game looks great. This shouldn't be the case tho - I'm 
speculating that what I'm doing effectively increases the size of the 
buffer since there's a greater delay between the signal coming in and 
having to be displayed. Anyway, the important thing is I can now 
comfortably watch my team lose in high definition splendour...
