Actually I did it for OTA tables a while ago. It's in the HDTV Recorder
patch, see here:

It's a little rough for inclusion in CVS, and I've been concentrating on
the playback patches lately. You should use what you can of the ATSC
stuff. I made the decision to split the MPEG parts from the ATSC parts
mostly so someone working on DVB could use them.
