I did take a look through the DVB code a while back.  It seems to me  
that the DVB driver and/or hardware makes its own distinction between  
subprograms, whereas the pcHDTV driver is really just delivering the  
raw transport stream.  And there is a bunch of stuff that's specific to  
ATSC in the details (like the embedded program guide data), even though  
the concepts are the same.

Where I think the DVB and HDTV camps share the most common interest is  
in the user interface end of things -- I look forward to seeing that  
channel editor.
