Which version of `mplayer'?
You probably know, but it bears repeating: mplayer is a
moving target, and significant features are added regularly.
Also, some things break from time to time but are usually
quickly fixed.
I tend to build a new mplayer binary once or twice a month,
and keep the old ones around.

This looks like what I see when playing IYV-HD video (with
a patch), whereas I see something different with BBC-HD on
mplayer from the start of august:
[h264 @ 0x89e5d50]B picture before any references, skipping
[h264 @ 0x89e5d50]decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0x89e5d50]no frame!
Error while decoding frame!
VDec: vo config request - 1440 x 1080 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12)
This is normal at the start of the file.

Then it will play for me with relatively clean video. The version
of mplayer about a month earlier did not play this same file with
clean video.
Perhaps your flavour of `mplayer' doesn't properly support the H.264
encoding used by the two problem channels?
Just a thought, try the latest SVN source of mplayer, if you aren't
already
