"That being said ..." is a phrase used to fill space or signify a pause. It basically means that something was just said and something else is about to be said. Really, it has no practical use as it doesn't add any meaning whatsoever to what was said nor to what is about to be said. A speaker might just as well use "Um" as it has the same meaning. The reason some folks use it instead of "Um" is because it sounds less like they're stalling to prepare for the next statement. Some people use it because they think it makes them "fit in" with others they've heard use it.

I disagree. "That being said" can be used to introduce another point of view, a rebuttal, or difference of opinion. As in - "although that was said, this is what I think." It is not a replacement for "un."
