Most likely your problem is on a digicipher2 channel. Digicipher2 is a system that most cable companies use, and is slightly different than DVB (it was standardized just before DVB). Most of the files I have to cut with dvbcut because no other program will touch them are digicipher. There are some subtle differences in the tables, stream identifiers, and the GOP structure I believe that confuses other programs like projectX, or anything else that strictly adheres to DVB specs. If you really want to know what kind of stream it is, download the trial version of TSReader ( http://www.tsreader.com/legacy/ ), start it with the "file" source, and load in your file. It will parse the tables, and show you all kinds of useful info, including the network type in the lower left corner (DVB/ATSC/DCII). This is of course if you actually have a transport stream file, and not a program stream file. Unfortunately, there is no linux version, but it works well in WINE (or in virtual box).
