For these you need to check if your CPU is maxed out.

This might be a unichrome XV bug-ette. Had similar symptoms myself with XV

You could try using the XvMC acceleration in mplayer/mythtv which doesn't have 
the screen inversion problem.

Possibly/probably a unichrome driver bug which should be raised on the 
unichrome mailing lists.
What version of the unichrome driver is that? i.e. have you built the latest 
from source or are you using a binary package?
