Forget what I said above. I think tsid may not be useful useful for what 
I need. Because UK DTT only uses one original network id for all of the 
uk multiplexes it cannot guarantee the consistency of version numbers in 
"other" tables. So I need to separately track the "other" table version 
numbers for each multiplex in a local transmitter group. So what I am 
really looking for is a way from inside eithelper to distinguish between 
multiplexes.

Once again. Anyone got any ideas?
