<div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div>I won't discount some kind
of hardware issue. I've seen stranger things, but I would really like
something definitive. However, I have ordered a new video board
(ENGT430) which should arrive later this week.<br>
<br>One other thing I have noticed, and it might be another red herring,
many of the pauses occur within milliseconds of mythweather starting
"Updates of NWS-Alerts". To verify this, I'll disable mythweather the
next time we're watching recordings and see if it makes a difference. Below are two examples from the frontend.log:<br><br>2011-05-02 21:41:48.358 Starting update of NWS-Alerts<br>'video_output' mean = '17205.53', std. dev. = '6915.81', fps = '58.12'<br>
