[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 13162, member: 174998"] Yes, it's the autoPID feature that I was referring to. There are some nuances to be aware of though. Quoting the DVB2000 manual: "The automatic PID search works reliably with NDT1006A receivers only (not DFST1173). You only enter video or audio PID=0. Then press 7 ON and OFF again. PID values are automatically searched for. To save the new values press 8-3 here." This is how people find the PIDs of channels when the PIDs are not transmitted in the bitstream. Such channels are intended for a specific target audience (eg a broadcaster testing, or a cable-company re-distributing the signal. Those audiences know the PIDs in advance (they are told) so their receivers don't need to scan for them. Tara TV and Denmark4 (er, I think) used this trick too. You always had to enter the PIDs manually for them - a scan did not pull them in. 2old [/QUOTE]
