[mythtv] 0.18 Choppy audio and video on some uk freeview dvb channels

[Greg Grotsky]

Roger,

Try running mythtv-setup and switching the recording type on your card
from PS to TS.  I found an issue that came up from a CVS commit from
March 27 to March 29th that broke a couple channels on my setup...
switching to TS fixed the problem.  It turns out that those channels
that were broken have mulitple audio streams associated with them.  If
they have more than one stream you may have to hit '+' to get the
stream to play when watching the channel in TS mode.

Good luck,

-Greg
