I live in London and receive the BBC HDTV tests which have two problems.
Firstly, the channels from ITV, C4, and five all have an audio pid but
no video pid. On the BBC, I get neither a video pid nor an audio pid.

Done.
Of course it could be that they aren't broadcasting anything yet. I
don't believe the public trial is due to start until next week.

I have dvbsnoop installed, but could you give me more precise
instructions, like which switches to use?
As for decode_pat and decode_pmt, I have libdvbpsi installed but they
don't seem to be a part of it.
