I can view SBS using mplayer

Had to install dvbstream and mplayer-nogui

In the first terminal I type
$ tzap -a 1 -c ~/.mythtv/channels.conf -r 'SBS ONE'

Second terminal
$ dvbstream -c 1 -ps -o 161 81 | mplayer -

Bug description:
I've just tried out Mythbuntu 10.04-beta1 64bit with the built in driver for the saa-7164.  I downloaded firmware for the HVR-2200, then I had to scan the channels using the scan command:

$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/au-Melbourne -o zap -a 1 | tee ~/.mythtv/channels.conf

Then I had to import this in my scan so that I could get channels SBS and Nine.  I've heard that these channels are special in their encoding.   

If I do the normal scan I pick up channels 2, 7, and 10.  The only way I get SBS & nine is through the manual scan.  But when I go and try to watch these stations I get errors.

Here is the output on the command line after starting mythfrontend and going to the SBS channel:

I think the problem is to do with the codec missing
