Very strange. Playing of two different muxes is also no problem for me, 
as long
as no new stream is started (of course after switching off one of the 
streams
before). In the start moment of the new the stream the already running 
stream
is disturbed and I see a demaged group of pictures in the old stream. After
these few pictures the stream is running fine again.

I cannot imagine that this is a specific problem of my stick, however,
thank you for testing!
