Sorry, if this should be a bit off-topic. But that's what I bought the SS2 for ;-)

I don't find any 'success' reply. MPlayer doesn't like 4:2:2 feeds, it says: 'MPEG: bad sequence header extension'. Good old dvb2000recorder for the Nokias 9[56]00 has no problems recording /displaying the streams. Old mpeg2decode from the MPEG Software Simulation Group has no prob- lems either(as frame), so I guess the format is according to the specs. If there is no solution yet under Linux, I'll try to find out myself when I find the time. is13818-1 should describe the details, and looking at the source of mplayer should explain what it doesn't like.....
