Just a quick update, I changed the test strategy that I got from http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb.html from;
/usr/src/linuxtv-tools/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/szap/tzap -a 0 "BBC TWO" /usr/src/dvbstream/dvbstream-0.5/dvbstream -c 0 -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - to ... /usr/src/dvbstream/dvbstream-0.5/dvbstream -c 0 -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - So, ensuring I have the "-o" in there and it all works! Great! I use the passthrough on the cards and it seems ok. I got to test for the first time within Myth and that works (basically), very slow to do anything (which is odd because when I have 2xPVR-250s in the same box it was fine, but more tweaks to ensue). Very impressed that this all worked straight out the box with stock kernels! Thanks for the suggestions guys.
