This gave me good results for the GUI and standard definition on my 
rpi3B (not plus).

This included the wiki suggestions of adding the mpg license, raising 
gpu_mem to 256, using V4L2, and adding

echo "performance" |sudo tee 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

The problem is that almost all my recordings come from Xfinity (USA) 
hdhomerun, and are high def. These recording skip too much to be really 
usable.

Other than that there are some references in the Wiki I'm unclear on. 
There is UK reference for playback profile changes, and a suggestion to 
use OpenMax for playback (which doesn't work at all for me).

Have I just reached the limit of a 3B?
