I think I've narrowed down my problem to the actual content. I have a DVB-T
card (Hauppauge Nova-T 500) and an Analogue card that I seldom use
(Hauppauge PVR-150). Recordings from the analogue plays OK. This is the
mplayer output from a recording that works:

MPEG-PS file format detected.
VIDEO:  MPEG2  720x576  (aspect 2)  25.000 fps  6000.0 kbps (750.0 kbyte/s)
...
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 384.0 kbit/25.00% (ratio: 48000->192000)

All DVB-T recordings show "TS file format detected" but the analogue show as
seen above show MPEG-PS. My very preliminary and spontaneous guess is that
PS3 has problem with my MPEG-TS recordings.

If anyone in here can play recordings from a DVB-T card, can you paste the
codec information?
