Not sure what you mean by a little jittery, but there is a known problem with Nvidia cards than can cause flashing to black during Video playback (PC/HDTV Timing Bug manifestation of the 29/59 bug).
You can try the fix below
Open Nvidia Control panel > Adjust Desktop Settings > Select the TV (must be on to be visible) > Set “content type reported to the display” to “Full Screen Videos”.

By jittery I mean there is a stutter when watching live tv and digital content every 5 seconds or so.

My setting is already set to "full screen video".

I was getting a stutter in my WMC playback with the last two NVIDIA drivers.......almost looked like the video framerate was being messed with, speed up slow down, very irritating. Try going to the NVIDIA drivers page and loading a driver from May 2016 or something, that is what I did.

I had this driver stutter on my new HTPC and with my 2011 backup HTPC, both the newest (3.70/3.72?) drivers had that issue on both PC's.
