At least one STB I've used ignores the PCR entirely.  Instead it has
another peculiarity.  I requires the video stream to be about 100 ms
ahead of the audio, the reason being that it uses the audio PTS as the
master clock.

BTW, how are other TS muxers faring these days?  Has anyone tried VLC
recently?
