You recording PS? This only works for TS currently, but the code is in
CVS so it should add that pid if it's not already added (e.g. the video
stream)...

Try: tspids < file.ts
(tspids is in the Debian package dvb-mpegtools... Don't know about other
dists but I think you can find it.)
I also think you can use the -if argument to dvbsnoop to work on a
recording.

Yup, so the recording is probably correct but the playback in myth needs
a fix? Or maybe the recording is slightly broken but xine and mplayer
are more robust and can handle it anyway?
