Yes that is what I am seeing.. This eventually will be collected when the
recorder is idle.. Also the cpu lagging is MUCH worse if you are getting the
section buffer overruns.. Jespers patch from a day ago has some buffer testing
code..

Can you give me some specifics?  It should have used sourceID * 1000 as the base
for the chanid..

Its the way it always should be for digital tv.. The data is sent with the
video.. Use it.. :)
