Ok, Got my Pi3 today and I am happy to say that performance is better. However, I do see one issue and it is hard to describe. When the Pi3 running Jessie boots to the Window environment the screen looks great and is not moving. When I run mythfrontend that Curtis built, the screen ever so slightly bounces. Its not just the video either.. The OSD, everything seems to slightly move every 3-4 seconds.

Any Ideas?

Anyone else see this?

Greg
