The problems with PS have been well covered, hence the removal. I'm 
running KnoppMyth using a pair of Avermedia DVB-T 771's. Using TS fixed 
a whole raft of problems for me, from glitching, loss of audio, problems 
with FFW/RWD, etc... So I'm surprised you got it to do anything in PS... 
As usual YMMV I guess...
