Apart from the fact that PIDs only have 13 bits, I think that the plugin not 
only will not, but _should_ not contain workarounds for autopid patches.
It simply gets the pid via channel->TPid() and passes them to the receiver. 
The rest should be completely tranparent to the plugin. It either gets 
teletext data or it does not.
There may be a bug that shows up only with these strange values, so if this is 
the case I will add an extra check (because a plugin should never segfault 
either ;-) ), however no specific workarounds please!
