You need to make this part of the code conditional on the PLP ID being
set. You've initialized it to -1, and that's what should be checked
to verify that you need to send this option to the dvb card.

+    //PLP
+    if (tuner_type == DTVTunerType::kTunerTypeDVBT2)
+    {
+        cmdseq->props[c].cmd      = DTV_STREAM_ID;
+        cmdseq->props[c++].u.data = tuning.plp_id >255 ||
tuning.plp_id<0 ? NO_STREAM_ID_FILTER : tuning.plp_id;
+    }
