I assume vdr gets this information from NIT (pid 0x10)? then again the broadcaster is doing something weird? Or is vdr using the get_frontend-ioctl? The flipping field is CoderateL, which afaik not in use anywhere in the world?! So normally it should be FEC_NONE as long as hierarchy is turned off. Maybe vdr should manually take care on that? regards, Patrick.
