If replay works well it shouldn't be a problem with live-stream, too. It could 
be a live-stream has more data by the additional PIDs (teletext, ...).

But in generell it should work. Have you tried switching TS/PS/PES?

Once again, do you use PCMCIA or ISA? 16-Bit Systems cause high CPU-load which 
could explain your problems.

My parents had a P166 MMX VDR-box which even handled DVD-playback with 
AC3toPCM-transcoding perfectly.

So I still think you have either a configuration-problem or it's a bug in the 
streaming plugin. Which versions do you use?

Sascha, any idea what differs between live-streaming and streaming recordings 
causing high load?

Yes, the question is if it is a standard cardbus-controller supported by linux 
(like some TI).

Could anyone out there with a DBOX2 running linux test this (with some lspci 
-vvv)?
