I almost have a working frontend that is really usable.  My only problem 
is most OTA 1080i content is choppy.

When video starts, I do get a 3 second pause and several 
"NVP:prebuffering pause", but after that, I think the video is OK.  My 
problem, I believe, is audio.  I get 2 seconds of play then a pause 
during play of 1080i video.

My mythfrontend.log notes several "WriteAudio: bufffer underrun":
2008-10-10 23:23:16.773 WriteAudio: buffer underrun
2008-10-10 23:23:16.843 WriteAudio: buffer underrun

2008-10-10 23:23:23.819 WriteAudio: buffer underrun

I noticed network errors, and forced my power mode to C1 successfully. 
My XvMC seems to be loading correctly.  I followed the Playback config 
setup from the atv-bootloader (Awesome work, Scott) site.

I've tried chaning ALSA:default ro ALSA:hw0,0, etc with no luck.

Any ideas?
