[MPlayer-dvb] can't play some atsc cable channels any more

Hi,
I have a kworld atsc 110 which I use for mythtv running ubuntu 7.10. A while
back, I detected all the digital cable TV channels that my Boston-area cable
provider had on the cable. There were quite a lot of channels that mplayer
could play. The problem I am having is that there are several channels,
which after an upgrade from ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10, now no longer play. I am
uncertain whether this is actually an mplayer problem, but hopefully there
are enough gurus reading this list that someone can give me a definitive
answer with little or no effort.
Yesterday I installed the latest svn snapshot and dumped a few megs of TS
for a channel that still works to a file using:
mplayer -dumpfile /tmp/good.ts -dumpstream dvb://GOODCHANNEL
(names changed to protect the innocent)
likewise for the channel that no longer works.
I'll paste the top of the output from mplayer -v /tmp/good.ts and mplayer -v
/tmp/bad.ps below. I can provide the ts files to anyone who wants to look at
them in details.
Thanks,
Randall.
P.S. I read this list in digest mode, so if anyone wants a quick reply
please respond to me directly.
