    To identify the individual packets there is a Packet Identity (PID) contained at the be- ginning of each packet (after the sync-byte). Each substream (e.g. video, audio) gets its own PID. Some PIDs are assigned automatically and cannot be changed (e.g.: PAT, CAT , .. siehe table 1) QPE 8600 1 - 4 QPSK-receiver...
