I'm getting the exact same thing. I am also PAL DVB but UK. I am using VGA
@ 1360x768/60Hz via a Matrox G550. It's not jerky as in pausing, but
rather the picture is vibrating vertically by about a source pixel, at
about the frame rate, which also causes jerky movement. Almost like it's
drawing the bottom field above the top field. It also affects the OSD in
the same way, and I see this not just on over the air programming, but
also on DVDs using the internal player. PAL and NTSC dvds and ones that I
believe are progressive too.

Anything other than timestretch 1.0 works great, just at 1.0 it is broken.
