[REPEAT]

This was a successfull flip from channel 3 to 4 (ok), and then from 4 to
5. The channel on 5 however (when trying to view it later), exibits the
prebuffering pause thingy. This channel was one of the channels that I
had some trouble with loading the pts from (back when I was working on
the DvbRecorder), and comes (probably) from mpeg packets split on a
boundary.

So the conclusion is: It's kinda working ok =)
