Aha ! This sounds interesting, because I had a case where the trouble 
only started when the adverts finished and the programmes began. Plus, 
it always seems to be programmes that my wife wants to watch which get 
screwed up :-)

I have been playing with the aerial, but, as I pointed out earlier in 
the thread, since the problems only appear when played with particular 
pieces of s/w or h/w and the same file will play faultlessly elsewhere, 
I am assuming that the problems are happening after the signal has arrived.

So, I just pulled up mythtvsetup and, sure enough, it was set to record 
'PS' :-( I've changed it to 'TS'. Time will tell whether this works or not.

Apologies to "Whytey" for giving him the brush-off when he suggested 
this as the root of the problem, and thanks to both of you for pointing 
it out to me.

Lets hope it does the trick,

cheers,


Jules
