Sorry, I gave you the wrong advice, it should be filed under "LAMgV".
For "LAmGV", the problem may in fact be encryption. You need to print
out the PAT and PMT. "-v record,siparser,channel" may do it, if not
ProgramMapTable has a toString()... The PMT is being rejected for
some reason...

The access_ctrl(0) means it shouldn't be encrypted. But then again
a TSID of 0x0 is not correct, so there is some brokenness here.
