That is transmitted in the BAT (Bouquet Association Table).

We are able to decode it, but we don't currently do anything
with the information from it.

These exist on DVB-S/S2 but not on DVB-T/T2 (in the uk at least)

The problem with DVB-T/T2 is we don't do any differentiation on which
mplex provides the best signal, and ignore the duplicates from
the less favourable mplex(es).
