LE46A956 - problems with H264 decoder??

Hi all,
My LE46A956 have problems with decoding one HD program (czech CT1 HD) from DVB-T broadcasting. It started couple of months ago - probably after some changes on broadcaster's equipment. The problem appears only when a native full HD material is broadcasted. Video starts twitching - instead of smooth play you see stall and skip several times per second. Video gradually getting later and later after audio. Twitching does not stop until another program is zapped. When switched back to the HD channel, twitching often starts again.
There are other HD channels which plays without a problem. SD channels are ok too.
Have you experienced similar problems?

Following kernel messages from stapi module show in dmesg output during the problem:

Notice that STC - PTC difference grows from 6452 (< 0.1 sec) to 301679 (more than 3 sec)
It seems like the synchronization algorithm does not work for this HD channel.

No I didn't get that. But I found before that remuxing some h264 mkvs sometimes lead to audio/video sync issues...

It's probably an audio/video interleave change via the station that's non-standard. It could be using a different bitrate than usual or including information that the TV doesn't recognize in the audio such as a second audio stream. I would say a change needs to be made in how the codec handles these streams.

Not an easy one. The problem is that Samsung firmware is based on an old version of coprocessor backend.
The only solution is to use
alternative firmware.
Unfortunately it is far from finished state.
