Channel 7 and VLC



 
Can anyone decode the Channel 7 (WHDH-DT) signal with VLC? 

Mplayer has no more problems with it than with any other channel. 
That is, the sound and picture aren't in sync, but they're both 
there.  So I don't think it's a signal strength problem. 

But VLC gives me the following errors: 

VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus 
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 11, expected 0) for PID 0 
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 1, expected 0) for PID 80 
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 2, expected 0) for PID 48 
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 2, expected 0) for PID 64 
[00000328] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:2 samplerate:48000 bitrate:192000 
No accelerated IMDCT transform found 

And then it sits there and doesn't produce either picture or sound.  I 
get the same errors on the laptop if I use VLC (Ubuntu Feisty build) 
on the desktop to stream the signal to VLC on the laptop (my own 
build).  So I doubt that it is either a build problem or a video card 
driver problem. 

I have googled both "TS discontinuity" and "accelerated IMDCT 
transform" without receiving any enlightenment.  Both errors are 
common in questions on the video forums, but usable advice about how 
to make them go away is not.
