[mythtv-users] Firewire 6200 playback problem

I think I see a pattern.

In one of the files that does not play, the first TS sync byte (47) is
well into the file. about 64K of mostly zeros and some kind of packet
I don't recognize preceeds it.

In one of the files from the same channel that does work, the first
sync byte is the first byte of the file...

Also, this seems to happen when a channel change is necessary, and not
happen when the recording is from the channel currently tuned.

My guess is that capture begins on these bad files before the receiver
is fully tuned to the correct channel.  So, they're perfectly fine
when viewed by software that seeks to the first sync byte, but maybe
myth assumes the first byte should begin as TS?

Thoughts?
