The above log looks more like a playback problem. Since you're using a 
VDPAU profile, I'm guessing you're using an nVidia GPU, right?

What GPU are you using?

What playback profile are you using? Maybe you need to step it down from 
VDPAU High Quality to VDPAU Normal, or from VDPAU Normal to VDPAU Slim.

PBS stations generally broadcast in 1080i and 1080i content requires 
deinterlacing. The different playback profiles use different 
deinterlacing HW assisted algorithms and not all GPUs can do the more 
advanced deinterlacing algorithms.

CBS and NBC also broadcast in 1080i, while FOX and ABC broadcast in 
720p. If the problem is ONLY a playback problem, I would expect to see 
problems with CBS and NBC content. If you aren't seeing that, then 
you've probably got both a playback problem and a recording problem.

As for a recording problem, you said you didn't have a problem recording 
on Windows. Were you using the same HDHomerun Connect device, the same 
tuner, i.e. either 0 or 1? Maybe there's a problem with one of the 
tuners in the same device?

I did have a weaker signal and more noise on one frequency while 
frequencies above and below it were fine. In my case, the problem was 
outside the house and was fixed when the cableco replaced the line to 
the house, but it could be an internal problem, too.

FWIW, after they replaced the line to the house, I had problems with the 
signal being too strong going to the cable modem. Inserting a splitter 
actually stabilized my internet connection.

HTH,
