Hi. I'm attempting to watch HDTV recorded in Australia (on DVB-T).
The backend logs show that a test program was recorded fine (no DVB
errors reported). However when I play back the recording, the frontend
logs MPEG decoder errors continuously.

I was also having strange problems recently, apparently because of a broken hard disk. It gave S.M.A.R.T errors for a long time, but at first I just ignored them. Later the playback was still mostly fine, but seeking in a recording did not work at all. The total length of the recording changed a lot every time I tried to jump forward or backward. It didn't jump as much as it should have, and after a few jumps it didn't jump at all anymore. Mythweb was also unable to generate the thumbnail pictures anymore.

Later on the disk of course crashed, and I couldn't boot anymore... I think I had similar errors in my myth logs. The messages log had this kind of warnigs before the crash
