In general, no, because by their nature (ie they are broadcast) 
transport streams are prone to being captured in the middle of a frame, 
so in any random stream you have might have up to a frame worth of 
indecipherable stuff to wade through before you get to something that 
can be recognised. I'm not aware of any easy way around the issue.
