Can´t say this, but at least 'Bayern 4 Klassik' makes this fault. I think, I
checked this last 3 or 4 weeks ago, maybe you have the time to check it this
thursday/friday (see
http://www.br-online.de/bayern4/programm/wochenhighlight/mehrkanalton.shtml). Additionally, they told me in a former e-mail, that
they don´t transmit the AC3 PID all the other days (they talked about capacity
problems) but only on the thursdays before transmission at around 18.00
o`clock - that´s why you will not find a valid AC3 pid today - and why it wouldn´t
be bad to leave the AC3 pid like it is.
Besides of this, it could be interesting to know if sending an (invalid)
video PID on AC3 radio channels is necessary for some stand alone receivers to
work correctly.
