I can provide a sample transport stream that it dumps if you'd like,
along with the dvbsnoop output.  It appears that it's sending valid TS
packets, but they don't contain video data.  I only get a few hundred kb
worth of data when trying to record HD.  My guess is that it's trying to
determine if the receiver is 5C enabled.
