Can you elaborate on this a bit ?  Cause I tried to play a mythtv .nuv file by 
mplayer but mplayer doesn't like it one bit.  (It may be a codec issue but 
just about everything else I throw at mplayer works just fine).
So, did you transcode in order to do that or do you deploy a PVRx50 (which 
outputs plain old mpeg2 instead of the nuppelvideo / mpeg4 I get off my card)
