[linux-dvb] PMT pid

["Vladimir Ivanov" <vladitx@dce.bg>]

Hello fellows,

This mail is not connected to linux, but surely to dvb. There was discussion of standards and whether broadcasters must follow them.
Now this is something similar.

My question is connected to the PMT PID. MPEG-2 allows several services (programs) to have the same PMT PID, since the services have
unique numbers ('program_number' in PMT), every 'TS_program_map_section' describing a service.

On Hotbird, 12111/V/27500 services #717 and #730 share the same PMT PID 1040. But alas, there is only one section and it seems to
*change* in time, sometime you get the program map for service #717 and sometime for #730. All this while keeping version_number the
same!!!

I think this is some kind against MPEG-2 standard.

Guys, what do you think? And how this problem is solved in the linux dvb software? Any bright ideas?

Cheers,
