That page doesn't say anything about a "transport id", though.  It
says the transport stream contains substreams, each with their own id.
I already knew that.  But the id for the transport stream as a whole
isn't mentioned.

When using the hdhomerun_config command line utility to manually
record something, you tune the channel using the frequency and program
id (aka packet id/service id) only, there's no need to (or opportunity
to) specify any "transport id".
