I'm currently uploading the four streams. As soon as the upload has
finished, I'll send the links to you and Nico. If anyone would like to have
the links, too, please send a short note to me.

Absolutely. Even more, your Ts2Ps is doing a great job.

But there is one strange thing in the PS output of dvbstream. On one channel
("RTL World" in Hannover, with four stations on it), the Ts2Ps conversion
shows a small strange behaviour. The Video PID in the PS is not 224, as you
would expect. It is 228, so I have to inform replex about that:
dvbstream -n 1800 -ps -f 498000 -o 353 354 > dvbstream.psraw
replex -k -v 228 -a 192 -i PS -t MPEG2 -o dvbstreamre.mpg dvbstream.psraw

That could be a thing in dvbstream you might take a look at. I can upload
that stream, too.

I've got the DP-500 with FW2.8.3, and no, it definitely can't play transport
streams. It even can't play PS streams, which vlc or the Windows Media
Player play without any problems. The streams have to be very well
synchronized and error free to be playable on the Kiss - and transport
streams aren't.
