I tried it, but I don't know how to interpret the output:

#> ./test_sections 0x12 0x4e
test_sections: using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
  PID 0x0012
  TID 0x4e
  Filter 0x4e 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
    Mask 0xff 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

After the "Mask" line the program stops (it does not return to the
command line). Have I to wait some minutes?

I tried this test for all TIDs (0x00-0xFF) and waited at each 10 sec.
before i stopped the program. The output was every time the same
(except the TID-value and the first value in the Filter-line, all other
values were everytime 0x00)

What output is normal? How long does it need to generate the wanted
output on an system where EPG is working?
Could you please send me an example output?

Could it be that the program has a problem with Hauppauge DVB-C cards?

best regards
