Network cache for video set to 1280. This helped a bit as all my movies would play (no fanart present.) However tv shows still wouldn't so I reduced the quality on the fanart using MS Office Picture Manager's default document setting.
This roughly halved the size of the fanart (on average from around 400kb to 200kb.) Now all tv shows play with no problems and on a 42inch screen the fanart still looks fine.
As to why some xboxes have problems and some don't, I've no idea - I only started getting problems when I upgraded from an April build to a more recent one. I've also got quite a large media collection gathered over many years so that must make the xbox work a bit harder also.
