John,
I get the same messages in the log as you, as in 
> 2005-05-30 12:52:41.193 DBOX#1: No TS header.
> 2005-05-30 12:52:41.420 DBOX#1: TS header at 42, not in sync.
but I get pictures. What I find strange is the frontend reports the stream as 
a pes not a ts. Im not sure what version of  Neutrino I have running, I 
presume it would be very recent. I do not have a DBOX2 but a Dreambox, so I 
have to use an image which uses Neutrino GUI in place of the Enigma. I know 
the author said you need a recent version Neutrino. If its of any value my 
image is Neutrino.DREAM_Plus_0416 which is made by RuDBox team and released 
16-04-05.
Im not sure what else to suggest, wish I could be of more help. Maybe the 
author can be of some help, not sure what has happened to him though, its 
been over a week since his last post. 
I will purchuse a real DBOX2 soon so I can record 2 channels at once, then I 
will be able to help some more. What brand/model are better ? 

Andrew.
