Buy a CX23418 based board.  That chip's firmware can produce a TS.

I think Compro and LeadTek cards are available in Europe and are
supported by the cx18 driver.

Given the non-authoritative MPEG-2 documents I have, yes, you appear to
be correct on this.

Please keep in mind that ps-analyzer.cpp is simply a debug tool from an
ivtv developer perspective.  You base prodcution software off of it at
your own risk. :)

I did not check this one, but I would not be surprised if ps-analyzer
had this wrong too.
