PLP_ID isn't used by the cxd2820r driver - it's simply > specified in Andreas' API patch. In DVB-T2, each TS is contained in a 'Physical Layer Pipe' (PLP). Multiple PLPs with individual tuning parameters may be combined on a single transmitter frequency. I don't know whether multiple PLP mode is or will be used in any country. If no PLP ID or an invalid PLP ID is specified, the behaviour of a demod may be undefined, i.e. it may select a random PLP or fail to tune. In DVB-SI, the PLP ID is carried within the T2 delivery system descriptor. Regards, Andreas
