<snip> Or more simple, as you have DVBStreamer working, start it up and type lspid <service name> -n And then look for the line where the second number is 27 and use the first number in your channels.conf For example: lspids "BBC HD" -n 21 PIDs for "BBC HD" 2318 5 0 2319 5 0 2320 5 0 2321 5 0 2322 5 0 2323 5 0 3840 5 0 3841 5 0 3842 5 0 3843 5 0 3844 5 0 3845 11 0 3846 11 0 3847 11 0 3848 11 0 5500 27 0 5501 6 0 5502 3 0 5503 6 0 5504 6 0 5506 5 0 pid 5500 is the one containing the H262 video. > |Now you finally have the piece of information you were searching, the > PID number.
