Red face SageTV Mac Client won't show h.264 stream?

I'm trying SageTV out and it seems to fulfill my needs, but some questions remain.
I'm having a WinXP box as SageTV mediacenter (latest version) and two WinXP SageTV cleints that work as expected with regards to liveTV and other media including those in h.264 format.

The mediacenter box is using two DVB-T tuners with Viaccess CAMs that are used for a network here in Sweden (Boxer).

Using a SageTV Mac client, almost everything works as well except for live TV h.264 streams. I can get sound, but no picture. Again, using a WinXP box as a client, I get both picture and sound (using PowerDVD 7.3 as codec).

Is there something I have to enable/purchase on the Mac to be able to watch h.264 coded TV streams?

I have the latest system updates. I have tried bootcamping the iMac and in that WinXP environment, it works as well.

Can you post a short clip for testing? PM me if you don't want everyone to see it...

I can't watch the h.264 coded streams from my r5000-hd on my Mac because of the PAFF interlacing that PDVD 7.3 (and CoreAVC) handle on the PC.

Maybe the Swedish h.264 TV streams use PAFF interlacing?

I'm afraid I don't have any good tools to split my h.264 files. The smallest ones are like 30MB. I've FTPd a sample for the support guys to have a look at and I'll report back when they come up with something.
Thanks for your offer to help!
