Yes thats still the case for now..

With these did the major and minor numbers match?  I am trying to decide how I
want to do handle the fuzzy name matching in mythfilldatabase.. I haven't
investigated my local channels on zap2it for a while, so I don't know how bad
the data is for OTA HD there or not..

There is no reference to PCR PIDs being seperate from teh Video PID in that
thread.. That seems to only cover a major/minor channel numbering issue that
doesn't affect the DVB drivers database layout..
