Actually, it would be more useful if you just cat'ed the unchanged mpeg 
data to a file and make that available.  Then we can figure out if the 
pops are coming directly from the hardware or if it is an mplayer issue.

OK.  Not a surprise since HD material is simply not possible on an NTSC 
broadcast.

Relating to your previous post, the pvrusb2 driver causes the I2C 
chip-level driver modules to dump their status early on when they attach 
to the pvrusb2 driver.  Since you haven't really tuned anything at that 
point, the results may not be very meaningful.  However if you do this:

cat /sys/class/pvrusb2/*/debuginfo

Not only will you get some info to the terminal, but all the I2C 
chip-level driver modules will be requested to dump their state again to 
the system log.  Have a look at dmesg again and see what it says about 
its tuning / decoding status.
