I dont use LiveTv a great deal, but recently have had no issue. Just the 
other night I watched a couple of shows via LiveTV.  Slight delay during 
program transition, but no big deal.  Currently running *mythbackend 
version: fixes/0.25 [v0.25.1-43-g73bc45e]* on Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 12.04
*
*I have a LiveTV Storage Group, but all frontends/backends mount all the 
storage group directories via NFS.
All storage group Directories are located on the MBE.  SBE and FE all 
netboot using iscsi.
I run a Gigabit network on all but 1 frontend, (have not used LiveTV on 
this Frontend)
All systems are FE are P4 - 3.x Ghz, Nvidia GeForce 8400GS using VDPAU, 
backends are P4 3.x Ghz Machines
TV Signal is PAL via DVB-T Tuners

I still continue to mount storage directories via NFS, as I have had 
issues with lagging / stuttering when letting the system stream via 
MythProtocol.

Hope this gives you guys some ideas.
