 Hi,

 I'm having some trobules watching some channels of my DVB-T stick.

 Most channels work ok, but I have some of them (30% of the channels) that
 present the following problems/symptoms:

 * Each x seconds, the image "flickers", as is a photogram was inserted in
 the stream (out of order) for tenths of second
 * If I open the EPG while watching one of those channels, the little PIP
 on the top right corner of the screen grows in height, overlapping the EPG
 (I believe -not sure- that this "growth" is produced at the same time that
 the flickering appears)
 * The same mpg stream that mythbackend saves works ok with mplayer (no
 flickering at all)

 In the following URLs you can find a cut of the MPEG stream that produces
 the error (8MB), the logs for mythfrontend (level=important,general), the
 logs for mplayer (just in case they help, MPLAYER_VERBOSE=1) and a picture
 of what happens with the EPG (notice the dark square under the PIP... that
 appears with the flickering and, I force the redraw of that areea (moving
 the selector square to that position), it is overwriten again and
 again...)

 Any hint/workaround will be welcome. I'll glad to provide you with any
 other information, streams, logs, whatever you need to fix this.
