Aha, yes of course that is where it is.  Sorry for the disinformation all

I think there may also be a couple of other implementations of the parser code which may be worth checking for inspiration.  Just remember seeing notes on the dvb mailing list from people wanting to dump out the data.  I think there is actually a lib for section parsing from someone like metzlerbros even?  Perhaps it's also in ffmpeg as well...?

I think the UK is on the plain vanilla DVB stuff.  However, it has been variously broken for quite a while so not easy to test.  

Would be interested to hear if anyone has a bash at just dumping out the UK data?  Integrating is probably a step best done after checking that there really is data there...  VDR might be a valid test as well...
