OK. So I reinstalled my whole system under AMD 64 linux. Still having 
unreasonable problems playing HD.

For those who missed my last email - system stats are plenty good enough 
for HD. Athlon 64 X2 6400 CPU, 2 GB RAM.

When I play HD content, I get one of two things. I either get 
"prebuffering pause" over and over again, with the video jerking each 
time, or I get "not enough time forr prebuffering pause", in which case 
the pictture is constantly laggy.

In either of these situations, my CPU is well below 20% in usage. I 
don't have a network setup - the box reading is the same one playing, so 
I don't know why it is haing a laggy time playing the video. My sources 
are two DVB-S cards.
