Not so fast! If the channel is encrypted, this is precisely what you
will observe ... though, because this is over-the-air that we're talking
about, this seems less likely to be the case (but you will have to
confirm nonetheless).
I'm more inclined to think that this is related to an issue with stream
identifiers. Is Sweden using MP4 now?
Some further questions, what drivers are you using (distro or recent
LinuxTV)?
What dvb-apps ... Christophe had updated the dvb-apps not to long ago
with some changes in regards to MP4 streams (can't remember the exact
nature, but perhaps you should grab a new copy from LinuxTV and try with
those).
