My Cable provider or VDR seems to mess up the audio pid regularly for
various channels. Is there a way (or patch) that I can keep the update
pids on, except for the apids? They move the vpids around about once a
month, so keeping vpid updating depending on sid is worthwhile,
otherwise I would turn off the updatepids line.
