I guess the subject is wrong then.. The VCT is not required to record once its
cached in DVB.. If it is show me how, because I was not aware of any
requirements for that.. All that is require to fire up the recorder is the PAT
and PMT.. Now if the cached VCT is different from whats present in the stream
now thats a different story..
