I am not sure what is the right word in English to describe what it does: the frame rate drops every second (the frame rate is not smooth anymore, it goes up and down) [would that be called stuttering?] and sometimes the sound drops for half a second.

yes, i have this issue, and posted a link to video of it; additionally, after 
tuning to an SD channel, sound disappears entirely, even after bouncing the 
frontend:-\ i haven't explored changing settings to recover, since rebooting is 
quicker;-)

same here.
