Most of this sounds exactly like my experience with the Mux A / Channel 5 
here in the UK. Especially concerning fast and slow movement! Does this 
happen on all transmitters, are they QAM16 or QAM64?

What I can't second is what you say about recording a channel that is 
"b0rked" in live viewing. Are you sure it's the same transmitter where it 
works in recoding but not in live viewing?

I'm sure we'll get this fixed somehow, sooner or later. In the meantime try 
dvbstream to a fifo file ( mkfifo ) then play that fifo in mplay -ao 
mpegpes -vo mpegpes and see whether that works fine. If it does then it 
doesn't looke like an IRQ prob....
