Thank you. I did not realize MPlayer was different than the built-in Media Player. It does play MPEG2 files. It is not playing the .tivo files, while playing from my internal SD card has little digital squares jumping around and the audio is squeally. I'm thinking that I may try toning-down the recording quality on the Tivo which may make the frame rate more manageable. Thank you in advance for all help!
