AFAIR, if you created more than one PID filter on the same PID, only one filter would see data on most or all hardware back then. So if you have multiple filters on the same PID, then the real filter you're setting should be a merged version of those filters. If you use dvb_demux, it will do the necessary post-processing for you.
