Just tried a sample of DVB-T YLE HD (720p50) on my computer..

It seems mplayer is not able to use multiple threads, at least on my
system.. I just see a single process/thread taking all of the CPU.

I guess there's still something to fix for a proper multithreading for h.264
decoding in mplayer/ffmpeg/libavcodec.. 

I used:

mplayer -demuxer lavf -lavdopts fast:threads=4
