Hmm...   Which tuners do you have?   Are there other brands/types that
*do* have PID filters, or is that common across all USB tuners?

Beyond just USB bandwidth (which doesn't seem to be an issue?), I
would suspect that there is a power/efficiency gain by filtering the
programs out on the tuner instead of the system CPU...
