Depends on the definition of valid PMT.
1. Purely data channels have a valid PMT, but no audio or video streams.
2. Radio channels (in UK) have audio + data streams.
3. Normal channels have audio + video.
For livetv currently only 3 is valid.
UK channels when they go "off air" they transition from type 3 to
type 1. When they go "on air" they transition back to type 3.
This allows the broadcasters to share frequencies between channels.
