I tried TS with Xine and it works flawlessly, but only for SOME channels.
e.g. Pro Sieben works fine but ARD has no audio.
encrypted channels also don't work.

with PS and mplayer ARD works with audio, however it is choppy ...

will try to use todays CVS of xine, already downloaded it.  currently i have 
version : 0.9.18
