Ah, yes.. excuse me while I smack myself.. That makes sense, look for a
matching NID before exiting.

Nope, lots of DVB cards have problems with that.

I believe this is in the documentation in SVN. 'A' means a valid looking
PAT has been seen and 'M' means a valid looking PMT has been seen.

Except for the 'running at all times' part, that sounds like what the
signal monitor does. It sounds like simply using the NDT and SDT tables
like we use the ATSC MGT and VCT tables would solve the problem you
have described in the ticket.
