In the Virtual Channel Table, which can be present either as Terrestrial Virtual
Channel Table (TVCT) or as Cable Virtual Channel Table (CVCT) depending on the
transmission path, identification information for the virtual channels, i.e.
programs, contained in a multiplexed transport stream are transmitted. The VCT
contains, among other things, the program names. The VCT is thus comparable to
the SDT table in DVB:
In the System Time Table (STT), all the necessary time information is transmitted.
The STT can be recognized by the packet ID = 0x1FFB and the table ID = 0xCD. In
the STT, the GPS (Global Positioning System) time and the time difference
