The TVCT caching with the dvb code SHOULD allow this to continue to work even
when the PSIP is not present as long as the MpegTS Program Number has not
changed since the TVCT stopped being sent.

This is the third station I have heard about that has stopped sending PSIP for
some time.. I wonder if they are using Thales Amber PSIP equipment that the
other stations here have had issues with as well..
