[linux-dvb] parsing of EIT problems

[Mirko Roller]

hy,

iam trying to parse the EIT from an sat-transponder (dvb-s).

I managed to get the pid 0x12 = EIT out of the TS, and iam now analysing it.
But iam suffering from the very bad etsi docu. I do not understand some parts.

The first thing i do not understand, why is the descriptor data so bad 
readable ? Do i need some extra etsi doc to understand the descriptor data ?

Second thing, the doc is saying something, that it is possible to have
sections, sub_sections, and tables. If i do understand it right, the
eit.section_number gives the number of the current section. And should start 
with 0, bit here it starts with 152. 

Also, the complete Table is 184 bytes long, but saying that this section is 
only 70bytes long. Where does the second section (sub_section?) start ?

You see iam a little lost, can someone explain me some things ?

greets, 

Mirko Roller
