This would tend to indicate that the PAT and PMT check failed.
You might want to print out the PAT table in DTVSignalMonitor::SetPAT()
by adding a "VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, "PAT is: \n" << pat->toString());"
And the same for the PMT.

If these never print anything out, you might want to try running
the backend at "-v record" and looking for any "PSIP packet failed
CRC check" messages. It is possible that the device is changing
these and not setting/calculating the packet CRC properly. There
is a function in videosource.cpp called HasDVBCRCBug() you can
try patching this to return true for your device.

I'll look at this.
