Yes we're stumped as well.... nearly all of our viewing is now BBC HD, 
and over the last two weeks we're unable to watching anything easily.
What does seem to work is 'livetv', I watched the tennis today in HD and 
it started out stuttery but after 30 seconds was completely watchable.  
The recordings on the other hand are frame jerky.  I wonder why that is?

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that ffmpeg is 
statically linked.  So it does not matter which version is installed on 
our ubuntu boxes.  Like you, these days I use the repositories, so we 
need for a fixed version.

Very frustrating.  I can watch using another player but it's all a 
faf... as I prefer using mythfrontend.
