you may get a few warnings about corrupt TS during the channel change. 
Seems quite normal.

I only get this NO LOCK message on channel change, followed by a couple of 
warning messages about continuity in the transport stream. It actually 
changes channels correctly ( apart from the stuttering across muxes ). 
Switching between channels on the same mux is absolutely fine between BBC 
and BBC2 for example. If I switch to ITV1 from a BBC mux then it stutters, 
however if I change the other way ie. start on ITV1 mux and switch to BBC1 
or BBC2 then no stuttering .. hmmmm


My sound card supports full duplex ( SoundBlaster Live 1024 ).

Could this be related to the timestamps issue you were talking about ? I'm 
certainly also seeing some sync issues in the channels which do work 
correctly.
