[mythtvnz] Cause of occasional audio/video jumps in playback?

[Cameron McConnochie]

I've been noticing something which might be related.

I've got a similar setup, except only one SkyStar II card with MultiRec.  I
have a splitter going to my myth box with the other end going to Sky
digital.  Sometimes when watching Sky the image freezes for a second.  Its
always done this when I reboot my Myth box, but lately its been doing it
intermittently and seems to line up with recordings starting.  The only
things I've changed recently is upgrading to 0.21 and enabling MultiRec.

Its not a huge issue for me as it only seems to affect SKY, not the
recordings.  I hope this information helps you out Matt.
