I asked the same question when I first started looking into this but 
there does not seem to be anything available.

It is part of the MPEG headers rather than the DVB data. The AFD tag is 
similar to the one containing the normal MPEG 16:9/4:3 aspect 
indication. I found the header parsing code for the aspect ratio in the 
existing vdr-dxr3 driver and it was fairly easy to add another case to 
decode the AFD header as well.
