After a week of tinkering with everything, and reading everything there is
on the web to read, I may have found the solution to my problem.   Here is
what I think had the impact:

1)  I put in a spare drive on the backend, and setup the master-backend to
use this mounted drive as a LiveTV only drive.   (Whenever LiveTV was on my
RAID5 Recordings array, or my home drive, it stutters LiveTV.)

2)  I did not NFS mount this new LiveTV drive on the frontends, forcing
Myth to stream to the frontends instead of using NFS.   (Whenever I use a
mounted NFS on the frontends, even with the separate LiveTV drive, then it
stutters.   Streaming does not stutter LiveTV for me only if I use this
separate drive without NFS mounting it.)

Hope that helps someone else.   I'm almost 1 day free of LiveTV stutters
with this configuration...

Thanks,
