I wish it was that easy.. I notice something new last night that
changes where I think the source of the issue is. (I tried updating my
TRAC ticket (#7571) but it appears closed.)

With superbowl coming up, I REALLY wanted to get this fixed, so last
night I put a new Hardrive in my frontend last night, and installed
F12-64bit from scratch. 190.50 drivers, mythtv-suite from atrpms..
Still sparkles.... with VDPAU on, and only for HDHR/MPEG2 off-air
content.

One thing NEW I noticed however, and this blew me away..... The
artifacting actually shows up with x11vnc as well, which tends to
remove things like video-drivers from the formula and point more
towards decoding...

I uploaded a couple of  "VPDAU on/off" screenshots to my ticket:

OFF: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/7571/cpuplusplus-no-glitter-1.jpg

I welcome ANY ideas... this is driving my out of my mind.....
