As far as I'm aware TS2PES errors are essentially recption errors in 
transfer mode. The counter was introduced by Teemu Rantanen when he fixed 
the oversized PES packet issue earlier this year.

Transfer mode is only used when you're recording or using a budget card to 
output to the decoder of a full featured card. So don't worry if you get 
very few that's completely normal, it means a packet got lost on the 
reception way. If you get a lot of them you might want to check that your 
equipment (aerial / sat dish / cabling etc) gains good reception. You might 
want to correlate this to rain fade or other things that could influence 
signal strength.
