Comment (by Roger James <roger@…>):

 Hi Stuart

 Just to cover my back :-), I did ask this question earlier on in the
 thread.

 "I am assuming that the same table version number will be used when the
 table is broadcast in an "other transport" table. I wonder if anyone can
 confirm this."

 What follows are my current personal musings on this :-)

 I still have not managed to find an official answer to in EN300468 and
 TS101211. However looking at the logs for the new version of the patch, it
 would seem that at least for FreeView here in the UK the assumption is
 correct i.e. the version numbers for a particular serviceid are in step on
 all the multiplexes. I agree that this would seem to contradict a literal
 interpretation of EN300468 section 5.1.1. However if the version ids did
 not correlate then you would have to maintain a separate copy of the table
 for each multiplex you encountered it on. That does not make any sense
 because you have no idea which one is authoritative. If the "actual" mux
 version is authoritative then what is the point of broadcasting the
 "other" mux tables in the first place. Maybe it is solely to indicate that
 if you see an "actual" update then you are tuned to that mux and may be
 processing the service(id) and need to do something about, in that case
 maybe there is only one shared copy of the "schedule" and
 "present/following" table.

 I have attached a new version of the patch.
