with the same drivers and a different version of dvbstream?
In any case you should always try a fresh cvs checkout of dvbstream.
A simple test you should run  is this:

 dvbstream -f 226500 -gi 16 -bw 7 -o 8192 > dump.ts
and try to play the dump.ts from another terminal. If you see corruptions
then report back, please.
P.S. 1.7 and 3 MB/s are really low bandwidth usage that shouldn't cause any 
trouble
