Aaah, cool. Sorry for my impatience.

Nice one, that was on my list of things to do. For me, I would
definitely need the latter.

I've been looking into the interactive stuff.. MHEG/MHP and the like. In
the UK, each channel has a reference to all the interactive channel ES
in its PMT table.. I notice that (currently) vls just streams these as
well.

I'm thinking of just patching it so it only actually streams the
video/audio streams... or do you think we need an option for controlling
this? 

Out of interest, which DVB-S broadcaster are you receiving from? We had
been looking at Sky, but I'm informed that their CA modules only work in
Sky receivers (Mind you, I've not looked into DVB-S personally yet).
