This is the answer from Edje's support:
Problem:  If you place an MPEG analyzer on the DVB input stream to the 
DTA3050, you will find that the transport header for the service (channel) 
that you have selected is packed with an enormous amount of extraneous data. 
This data is not required for playout.  It is discarded by the decoder.  A 
set-top-box--which uses a hardware decoder--can handle this extra data 
easily.  VLC is software, and it simply cannot handle the large amount of 
header information in the digital turnaround transport stream.

Any Ideas?
