Hmmm. I worked out the scheme using dvbsnoop last night, then decided it
couldn't possibly be so simple. Seems I was right after all...
The data is transmitted in the EIT. Each entry has zero, 1 or 2 Content
Identifier Descriptors, with table ID 0x76. The format of this descriptor
seems to be:
Descriptor tag, 8 bits (always 0x76)
Descriptor length, 8 bits
crid_type, 6 bits
crid_location, 2 bits (always seems to be 00)
crid_len, 8 bits
crid_data, crid_len bytes.
If crid_type = 0x31 then crid_data contains the program ID, which I think
is supposed to uniquely identify the programme irrespective of repeats
etc.
If crid_type = 0x32 then crid_data contains the series ID, which should be
the same across all episodes of a series. The series ID is sometimes
omitted if the programme is a one-off.
I'm not sure just how unique these identifiers are supposed to be; the
series identifiers are generally 5-digit numbers or 6-character alpha
strings preceded by "/", while the program ID seems to have the episode
number appended.
On Sandy Heath I only see this data on the BBC, "4" and sky channels, not
ITV.
