I get 38MB/s from hdparm, dmesg shows nothing unusual from what I can see.

I have some hardware issues with m machine though and I'm waiting for a 
new motherboard to arrive which should hopefully fix them.  The reason I 
didn't think this was related was that LiveTV works OK as does playing 
the raw stream using mplayer or spooling the raw stream to a file and 
playing with mplayer.

I'll wait and see if the upgrade fixes this but for now it means that 
all my recordings are unwatchable!
