After reading more about the problem and that it is normally related to too 
long cables and aligned of the dish I decided to upgrade my sat system. So 
I've changed my sat system from a CAS 90 -> UAS 485 -> WinTV Nova Budget to 
CAS 90 -> UAS 485 -> EXR 5016 -> WinTV Nova Budget. The dish is also 
realigned. Now with more outputs I've done the following.

a) Computer A with 2x WinTV NovaS is recording Pro7 and RTL. There are no 
errors logged and the resulting mpeg file plays without problem.

b) Computer B with 2x WinTV Nova Budget is recording Pro7 and RTL at the 
same time as computer A. After that I got cTS2PES got 0 TS errors, x TS 
continuity errors. X is different all the time. The mpeg file is visible 
but there are sound glitches and sometime even small picture problems.

So I assume that the TS stream is good since computer A has now problems 
while recording. The cable length from the EXR 5016 to computer a and b are 
approx. 15m to computer A and 20m to computer B. The only difference 
between A and B is the antenna cable and the WinTV cards. I think the 
cables are ok (data sheet see below). So my question is again: "what else 
causes cTS2PS errors?"

The following cables are used:

UAS 486 -> 10m SKB96 from Axing -> EXR 5016
EXR 5016 -> 15m SKB96 from Axing -> Computer A
EXR 5016 -> 20m Noname -> Computer B

SKB96 = Dämpfung 2050 MHz 29 dB / 90db Schirmung / 100m / Innenleiter 1.13mm
Noname = Dämpfung 2050 MHz 30.8 dB / 100db Schirmung / 100m / Innenleiter 
1.1mm
