I think Ralph was just pulling your legs. It doesn't make sense
to dump all data from a TS into the dvbnet device. First of all,
some of that data isn't even in section format (video etc.), and
then there could be more than one MPE stream in the TS, which you
cannot handle with only one net device (that would be like having
two ethernet cards in your PC and only one eth0 device).

What could be done is to add an ioctl to dvbnet to change the
PID on the fly, so one doesn't have to remove the dvb0_0 device
first and re-create it with a new PID.

Regards,
Johannes
