I will see tonight if I can put it together.. Might be saturday though..

The table parser code is in dvbsections.cpp right now which hangs off of
dvbchannel, and there only a parser for the PAT, the PMT is sent unparser to
the CAM module and used nowhere else.  So your cam might be right if the
serviceID is set but the rest is assumed.

I think based on what you just said there is NO reason to support caching of
PAT/PMT ever.  It takes almost no time to get those (milliseconds) so those who
say it will slow down tuning need to look for other problems in the code rather
than auto-pid.
