The problem is probably NFS, or at least NFS over udp. If you unmount
the backend from your xbox, then it will use a tcp connection to the
backend, and it should be smoother. It probably uses this method for
live tv. You could also try setting the tcp option in /etc/fstab. I
haven'd tried that yet, but unmounting the backend store fixed the
playback hiccups.
