[mythtv-users] just watching TV is jumpy

[Michael]

I excitedly installed everything for MythTV over the past few days.  now
that I am finally done I've found that I cannot even watch TV because it
is jumpy, jittery, and the video falls behind the audio.

I have no problems watching TV using xawtv, TV Time, mplayer, etc.

I have a 1Ghz Athlon, 512MB RAM, 2.4 Kernel (Gentoo), DMA verified on
HD, with Haupauge WinTV Go V4L.

Again, this is just trying to watch TV.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Michael
