Comment (by mspieth):

 Replying to [comment:2 Klaas de Waal]:
 > About OpenTV, for which signals/satellites/countries is this applicable?
 Sky (US/IT/NZ/AU), Dishnet(US) and others I'm not aware of. Anything NDS
 related would be a guess but not sure about others around the world.

 >
 > For the implementation I want to use the region ID and bouquet ID fields
 that are now present in the video source. This avoid having to type the
 numbers again each time a scan is done.
 > Implementation can be done similar to how Freesat and Sky channel
 numners are now done; selection of the additional pids is done based on
 the value of the original network ID.
 >
 > For this I do need the original network ID (or ID's) of the networks
 which do use this channel numbering format.
 It probably doesn't matter as if these descriptors are available then the
 channel numbers are probably correct. If multiple logical channel number
 descriptions are available a choice could be presented to the user in
 setup, which info should be used.

 need the PrivateDataSpecifierID values. This is also how it is now done
 for Freesat/Sky.

 transport stream of a representative signal.
 This may be a problem. It has been a long time since I used this and was
 only experimental at the time as these services are encrypted normally,
 though the metadata is not. I will have to fire up my sat or cable card
 which I have not done in a while. I only used DVBT ATM. This would not be
 representative of anything but AU for network IDs.

 There is a project of mine tvgrabdvbplus which I used other existing
 projects and fused them with the help of another. There was not freely
 available info at the time. This project is primarily a guide grabber for
 sat feeds.

 If you don't want to use it due to the restrictions detailed, this is ok
 too.
