Other than that it is probably a reception problem.
Yes. The Pi has the MPEG2 codec keys installed otherwise I'd not get any picture.
I'm thinking it's a buffering/processor thing. The mythfrontend on the same box as the backend runs Live TV flawlessly. My VM running XBMC is also fragmented which makes sense as it doesn't have a dedicated GPU even though it's running on a tricked out Macbook Pro.
I have a Hummingboard from Solid Run (solid-run.com) that pumps up the Pi specs with 2 cores and 1gig on a SoC. I'm going to try to get this working on that as well and will report back.
