identifier (VPID) and the TS identifier (TSID). One other data box contains audio
information: type of audio coding (MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or AC-3), audio bit rate, audio
program identifier (APID) and language (e.g. en). The last box located in the same

On the left column appears the type of DVB signal, a window showing the signal
