Hi,
last time I tried -p did not work at all.
You are much better off, especially for none S2 HDTV, serious
broadcasters still watch the scene from there, with what Nico
recommends for mplayer h.264/AVC.
But, to be honest, documentation is lousy so far ;)
This is not at all caused by mplayer, but we have a nice mixture here
anyway ;)
For the saa713x driver I'm quite sure now, it is not a driver issue if
BBC HD has troubles. I do say we are out of it. Doubts are welcome.
Wasted some money, but m$ and linux DVB-S scans are almost identically.
The all so much assumed better tda826x stuff on m$ is not there at all.
Messing around about it is very welcome ;)
Cheers,
Hermann
