There should now be a program_info loop but there is none in this ex-
ample, a fact which is signalled by the length indicator “pro-
gram_info_length = 0.
However, the stream loop provides information about the video and au-
dio PID. The stream type (see Table 3.1.) shows the type of payload,
namely MPEG-2 video and MPEG-2 audio in this case.

3.3.8 The Service Information according to DVB (SI)

Taking advantage of the “private section” and “private table” features, the
European DVB Group has introduced numerous additional tables intended
to simplify the operation of the set-top boxes or quite generally of the
DVB receivers. Called “service information” (SI), they are defined in
ETSI Standard ETS300468.
They are the following tables (Fig. 3.29.): the “network information ta-
ble” (NIT), the “service descriptor table” (SDT), the “bouquet association
table” (BAT), the “event information table” (EIT), the “running status ta-
ble” (RST), the “time&date table” (TDT), the “time offset table” (TOT)
