My S1 Phillips Tivo is having the same problem. It appears to be only with playback and I haven't seen it with live tv and if I backup over a section which had glitches in the video/audio generally I can't get it to reproduce. At first I thought it was the CPU overburdened by all the hack software I put on there so I removed it all except the bash login. That didn't appear to fix the problem. 

My guess at this point is that either the Tivo is starting to overheat and cause these issues (not likely) or that the harddrives have become so fragmented that the seek time has become slower then is optimal for playback. I'm thinking of replacing the two drives I currently have in there with 1 Seagate barracuda IV (the nice and silent drive to get that added bonus)

If anyone else has had success getting rid of their glitches let us know!
