Well, Frequency range in satellite standards are in kHz, while the frequencies on 
the other ones are in Hz. So, I don't think that the number of bits should limit
it. In a matter of fact, even on DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, ... there are some fields
that gained more bits.

So, I don't see any issue on using DTV_DVB_STREAM_ID on all of them, even if
the number of bits are different.

Of course, the API documentation should be clear about the field differences.

Mauro.
