I didn't read it fully, but it came up with others when I googled
"transportid dvb". I looked at the DB definition and in
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channelscan_dtv_multiplex_table I find
it's the internal ID of that table. So the values in that table
probably contain invalid values for that transport.
