I see.
To be honest with you I don't know the difference between kernel level filter and hardware filter.

The way I see it, but I think it might depend on the card as well, is that the driver in the kernel 
always receives the whole TS and then does a software filter which you can trigger via 
DMX_SET_PES_FILTER.

I don't know anything about hardware filter.
Someone else should maybe answer this question.
