ETR 211 defines that tables 0x50...0x5F and 0x60...0x6F shall be used for this
information, and that it has to be put into these chronologically.
For testing I have added several AddFilter() calls to VDR's cSIProcessor::SetStatus()
and added a debug output line to see whether there is any data in tables 0x52 or
0x62. Apparently none of the transponders on Astra that I scanned transfers any
data in these tables.
