Yes, the file now plays correctly in mplayer. Thank you!

Now for the next step.

I would like to be able to extract a single program from the file - with 
mencoder, if possible.
For example we have tried

mplayer/mencoder -demuxer lavf -tsprog 2005  -oac pcm -ovc copy -of avi 
-o out.avi mux2.share.ts

This produces a playable avi file, but unfortunately not of the correct 
program.

We also tried with mpeg output, but here mencoder freezes while writing 
the header:

csr at pc295:~/temp$ mplayer/mencoder -demuxer lavf -tsprog 2005  -oac pcm 
-ovc copy -of mpeg -o out.mpeg mux2.share.ts
