I'm using the same channnels.conf which works under totem, and it seems
that me-tv is using the correct audio PID:

Also, it looks to me like Dale only got the SBS HD audio to work under
me-tv (which works for me also). To get the ABC HD audio to work he
used mplayer (which also works for me).

The problem for me-tv applies to all the HD channels except SBS (ABC, 7,
9, 10).

More suggestions, please?
