other people would recommend a transcode 
(btw 352x576 and 352x288 is also DVD but i have not seen any station using this for DVB)

i donīt know what players you tested but my impression was that cheaper models (yamakawa, raite, cyberhome) are more likely to work then brands like pioneer, philips, ...

its somehow the same like the discussion about svcd with higher bitrate then 2500 kB/s and 48kHz sound - some player do other donīt

you could have a lot of fun when your current standalone breaks and you need a replacemant
