That looks fine, apart from an artefact caused by a reception problem and a
lack of deinterlacing.

Are you also getting a lot of visible reception error artefacts? I had bad
reception on one of my Nova-Ts a while ago - the problem was that a co-ax
plug was making a bad contact with the co-ax core wire. One replacement plug
later, problem gone.

It could well be a performance problem, despite your belief to the contrary.
I find that Xv works well, normally taking about 30% of CPU time (2GHz
Sempron, running at 1GHz due to cpufreq; Radeon 9200, untainted), xshm works
reasonably well but OpenGL is slow, presumably due to colourspace conversion
requirements. (XvMC and XxMC don't work here.)
