I figure that's supposed to be "ST, CIT", where "ST" stands for "Stuffing Table" and "CIT" for "Content Identification Table", see ETSI TS 102 323. > How is it possible to do correct recordings, if the RST is not > transmitted. > Or in other words, how do set top boxes know, if a Show is delayed ? > And start the recording at the right time ? > RST looks like the VPS system to me... And now you say it is not used ? Well, if you're writing a thesis, you might want to first research what systems have been _defined_, then which ones are actually _used_ in real life broadcasts. As to the former, I know of three items: 1. EIT (Event Information Table) 2. RST (Running Status Table) 3. TVA (TV Anywhere) The last one is the newest and from what I understand really supposed to be the system which controls STBs. ETSI has released a good number of documents about TVA; ETSI TS 102 323 might be a good start. From a quick glance, it appears to say that in DVB, TVA is carried on PIDs 0x0012 and 0x0016.
