The TS stream produced by pvrinput has no PAT/PMT tables and doesn't provide a
PCR. TS streaming with streamdev-0.3.4 didn't work due to the missing PAT/PMT
tables, as streamdev solely relied on PAT/PMT when in TS mode. This has been
fixed. Take a current CVS version or use a snapshot from
http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org.

The missing PAT/PMT and the missing PCR are however still an issue when
streaming to VLC. VLC won't accept a TS stream without these parts. Use PES
streaming instead.

Cheers,
Frank
