I've noticed that if I select Watch TV it will come up on the last station viewed and there is a stutter in the picture. It's very noticeable particularly if they have a text scroll at the bottom of the screen.  I've fixed this by using the left arrow to backup 10 seconds. At that point it's a perfect picture.  To me this is understandable and it sort of explains why DirecTV's picture is always delayed when view live tv using their DVR versus a standard receiver.

I think I can wait until 30 is released.  I don’t mind pausing or backing up a few seconds when I first start up live tv. Not sure I’m brave enough to run pre-release code.  Of course, the MAC version of mythtv-frontend is pre-30.
