Interesting. Anyone else seeing this? I haven't noticed anything
through Sky and I just looked at 5 mins of the stuff I grabbed
yesterday via dvbstream and couldn't spot any glitches in that either.

I'd expect that if the problem was signal dropout then dvbstream would
show the same behaviour as mythtv, but it doesn't - it's works
perfectly. So I'm still of the opinion that it's a bug in mythtv,
though I've got no theory on why it's suddenly appeared.

Cheers,
