I too have experienced the exact same thing.  I've always meant to look
into it, but never pursued it because I don't watch much live tv.
That's changing...

One thing I've noticed is if I tell it to record the live tv program,
exit live tv, go to recording and watch it, it plays fine.  - I know
that's been stated... However, If I fast forward to the point where the
recording is a few seconds behind the live, the stuttering and skipping
happens again.  I just thought I'd mention it.
