To clear this up the TSM1000 does only support the DSI, but there
TSM/TSS 2800 supports the published Ethernet table interface.  Triveni
is the only company that I know of for sure that has implemented the
interface.  I think that Linx has also implemented this interface, but I
am not sure.  All of the LI Mux's have always supported table insertion
through the ASI/SMPTE 310 interfaces. They also support the carouseling,
in the event the the table generator *crashes*.  This of course NEVER
HAPPENS. 

The LI mux also support a rules based user interface to force map the
PIDs to comply with any standard, now and tomorrow.

The 18K is for the fully licensed TSS with all 8 inputs and outputs.
You can buy it as a TSM with 2, 4, 6 and 8 inputs and save money.  This
is a bargain compared to the Thales or Tandberg mux.

I can get you a copy of there open Ethernet specification.

You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:

- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at 
FreeLists.org 

- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word 
unsubscribe in the subject line.
