As long as I have used myth, I have seen this problem; livetv sometimes 
freezes between shows. It happens often in one specific channel.

I have enabled extra audio buffering in tv-playback setup. Without it, i 
see freezing almost every show change, and with every channel.

So I think it has something to do with audio buffers. There is some old 
tickets regarding issue, but it seems to be still alive. For example 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2335

With extra audio buffering, I can live with the problem. But it has one 
disadvantage; after channel change, picture stops for a second or 
stutters a while. This doesnot happen without extra buffering.

I think this is dvb-related issue.

Is there anything to do?
