Yes, I would be interested in seeing that.

But I'm sure it's nothing to do with dvbstream - dvbstream (in the 
default "TS" mode) just reads the data from the DVB driver and saves it 
to disk.  It makes absolutely no changes to it - so there is nothing it 
can be doing wrong AFAIK.

Which Kiss player do you have?  I emailed Kiss a while ago when I was 
thinking of buying one of their players (before the Kiss/MPlayer/GPL 
events) to ask if their players support MPEG-2 transport streams, and 
the reply I got was:

"Yes all of our players that support Divx supports this stream. "

Luckily I never bought one if this isn't true.
