I had the same problem as Randy only it was a little
random when it happened - sometimes it happened when I
was changing channels very quickly, sometimes when I
was just watching tv and most often when I was watching
a program that I was recording. It makes both the video
and audio slow down - so yeah, just the opposite of
chipmunk effect.
I tried to watch CPU usage when this happened but that
was not the problem and I wasn't even using any swap
space, so I guessed at IO problems but couldn't get my
harddrive to do any better than 284/20 with hdparm -tT.
I ended up buying a new drive to use as storage and
that solved my problems. So if you have the same
problems try to either tune your harddrive, replace
your drive with a new faster one or just add an
additional drive you just use for storage.
