capture and playback of udp streams

[tuxeric]

My isp is giving iptv in tests. The problem is they only gave me one stb and i live with my girlfriend.
The stream is udp multicast. I am able to view some of the streams directly with vlc but for some i get only audio and very big pixel like squares instead of video.
I wrote a c program that joins the multicast stream and saved about 30sec of it in a file.

The info i could get from it is this:
container: mpeg transport stream
video codec: h.264
audio codec: ac3 (english)

I posted the file online at

http://www.mediafire.com/?dgxya4pld1i7h69

Didn't know what extension to put on it since i'm not sure what kind of file it is.
The sound plays ok, and from the whole 30sec video i only see one frame.

I tried to play the file on a few pc's, a ps3, and with all the players i could find.
The result is the same.

Is there a way to watch these streams?

The output file is Mpeg-TS!! You can't watch it because the video is Encrypted but Audio is not!!

Yes, thank you, but here is something that puzzles me.

Bellow is a capture from another stream, one that i can watch without any problems.

$ mediainfo file2.out

mediainfo also sees this as an encrypted format.
Could you please explain this to me?

I'm not an expert in this type of TV, but one thing that jumps out to me is that the 2nd file is MPEG video and the first file is H.264.
