Great. I can now change channels (with XvMC not VLD), at least between
SD TV channels.  Changing too or from HD TV is still a problem
though. I no longer get an abort (as I used to) but mythfrontend does
get stuck "waiting for video buffers."

HDTV is the best it has ever been for me. I can get quite smooth
playback with just the occasional stutter. It can also get a bad
stutter, which I can almost stop by stopping and restarting watching
until it is good. Not ideal, but the best it has been!
