You'll have to image my soup dragon impersonation!

Anyway, I've still been getting backend segfaults and frontend 
pause/rebuffer for a fraction of a second every few minutes, but only on 
  Five, Five Us (I presume it would affect Five Life too)

so today I ran
mythbackend -v most
and
mythfrontend -v playback

to see if I could tell what was going on, I did notice that while most 
channels are using exclusively interlaced frames, the Five channels use 
mainly progressive frames, often flipping between progressive and 
interlaced several times within the space of a few seconds, presumably 
part of them eeking out their bandwidth, I wonder if this might be part 
of the problem?
