[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1010170, member: 82144"] Hello again Chris First thing to say is that as far as I know VCT (virtual channel table) is an ATSC term. The 0xc8 and 0xc9 tables are used for terrestrial and cable info respectively. The equivalent in DVB is the SDT (service description table), PID 0x11 tables 0x42 and 0x46. ...unless you're referring to an OpenTV thing (which I would know nothing about)? FYI my understanding is that though it may describe itself as a platform for the TV provider audience, the only relevance of OpenTV for MP is as a [potential] EPG data format. I get the impression it could be used sorta like MHEG 5. Maybe I'm mistaken. Anyhow, this info may be more helpful... As long as nothing has changed recently you can find the Sky NZ LCNs in the DVB NIT (network information table). PID is DVB standard - 0x10; table ID is DVB standard 0x40 and 0x41. Sky NZ use a custom descriptor tag 0xe2 with apparently identical structure to the Nordig (defacto DVB standard) LCN descriptor (tag 0x83).
