Fair enough.

Understood.

Ultimately, I'm looking at the PID/AID values because mplayer/mencoder
doesn't seem to be able to find video on one of these known-functional
channels:

$ mencoder -v dvb://122 -o test.mpg -oac copy -ovc copy -dvbin

NO VIDEO! AUDIO A52(pid=5848) NO SUBS (yet)!  PROGRAM N. 0
==> Found audio stream: 0

ADDED AUDIO PID 5848, type: 2000 stream n. 0
Opened TS demuxer, audio: 2000(pid 0), video: ffffffff(pid
-1)...POS=18800, PROBE=0

demux_ts, switched to audio pid 5848, id: 0, sh: 0x9e74088
Video stream is mandatory!

Exiting...

Is this because the VID is 0 or is that unrelated to why this isn't working?

Cheers,
