Okay, all the descriptors are in the recorded PMT now.  But...

In the backend log, I don't see a line adding the PCR PID (like I used 
to see).

Is there an easy way to tell if the stream is actually in there?  All 
the tools I have get their input directly from the dvb device and not a 
file.

It's interesting that xine and mplayer will play the file (and seek) 
without a problem.
