Hi Patrick,

I'm really not "an experienced driver developer", but anyway.

As a driver developer, you don't have to care about which pids are
being requested. You only have to care that the TS packets of a
requested pid are sent to an upper handler of the driver; it will do
the filtering for you.
Why don't you check other drivers, e.g. skystar2.c, to see what has
to be done?

Requesting 0000, 0011 at the beginning of tuning is normal:
0000: PAT
0011: SDT
But this is a userspace decision, and has nothing to do what a low level
driver should be concerned of.


Sorry, this post most probably wasn't very helpful to you.
