As mentioned its not juts mine and that's exactly what worries me: there 
are too much reports from many countries and many channels. So unless 
they all use the same buggy mpeg2ts encoder, it's the sign something is 
wrong and I don't think a non valid value for picture type for things 
broadcasted all over the world is likely given the number of DVB 
recorder but maybe I'm wrong.
