In DVB-T2, each TS is contained in a 'Physical Layer Pipe' (PLP).
Multiple PLPs with individual tuning parameters may be combined on a
single transmitter frequency.

I don't know whether multiple PLP mode is or will be used in any
country. If no PLP ID or an invalid PLP ID is specified, the behaviour
of a demod may be undefined, i.e. it may select a random PLP or fail to
tune.

In DVB-SI, the PLP ID is carried within the T2 delivery system descriptor.

Andreas
