Does it lose the audio track entirely, or does it default to the
silent MP2 track that a lot of UK DVB-T recordings contain? I solely
use ProjectX for demuxing and fixing streams, but if the internal
player can successfully select the correct audio track to use,
mythtranscode _should_ (although it may not at the moment) be able to
also.
