I thought it might. Sounds like you have a rather marginal signal if  
its taking that long to lock onto though. And that...

...is probably more to blame for your glitchy playback than any video  
drivers. The drivers are there, and Intel video can indeed handle  
mpeg2 hdtv playback just fine ( that's what I used for a few years  
myself, before switching to an ion system this past week). If your  
signal is marginal, which I'm pretty sure it is, then you're highly  
likely to see artifacts during playback as the signal drops out  
periodically. I might suggest looking into a better antenna and/or a  
pre-amp. antennaweb.org is your friend here.
