Found a bug in it last night (ho hum), The ='s operator in the EITTable
doesn't empty out the the vectors of Components, MultilingualComponents
after deleting them. (only showed up after running it for most of the
evening).

I'm also wondering if I need to do the parsing differently anyway.
Something like grab a copy of the data and then construct  the Strings,
Times and Dates on demand. It might make it a bit faster, and also it
might help me get to the bottom of why it's going screwy while
recording.

I thought the data coming through should be crc checked, but I seem to
get errors. I need to investigate more to see what's happening.

Lucky you :-) The table descriptor to look for will be the Extended
Event Descriptor, which should provide more goodies like cast lists etc.
