Hi,

the problem isn't to do with playback as I have another type of adapter 
card that creates a TS, from the same mux, that is played back with no 
problem.

It seems that the problem only happens when using the Nova-T card.

DTT in NZ has services with 1080i video format, I'm not sure that there 
are many other places in the world where 1080i h.264 content is 
broadcast using DVB-T, hence I was thinking that this combination may 
not have been well tested.

Thanks,

Lou
