Which is why ATSC A/53D paragraph 5.7.4 states: "5.7.4 PID Value Assignments: PID values used to identify Transport Stream packets carrying TS_program_map_section() or program elements shall not be set below 0x0010 or above 0x1FEF. "Beginning not later than January 1, 2005, in order to avoid collisions with fixed PID values and ranges already established in this and other international standards, PID values used to identify Transport Stream packets carrying TS_program_map_section() or program elements shall not be set below 0x0030." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Hewitt" <rod@xxxxxxxxxxx> > This I have to comment over.
