Yeah, in saa6752hs.c, just comment out the bit where it uploads them.. 
somewhere in saa6752hs_reset().

Though its weird you're getting invalid ones. You have to handcode the PAT/PMT 
tables and upload them to the chip when it starts up... I thought I'd got it 
right since VLC was quite happy with it.

Which tool did you use to verify them, so I can sort it out?
