RE: Simultanous PID!?

["Maciocco, Christian" <christian.maciocco@intel.com>]

That's a limitation of hardware based MPEG-2 TS decoder, usually limited to
8, 16 or 32 PIDs. Software based decoder such as the one available with
Windows XP BDA (Broadcast Data Architecture) where the full MPEG2 TS is fed
out of the tuner to the software decoder there is no PID limit beside your
available memory.

Hi,
I've a simple question to ask:
¨ when we say that the receiver can just deal with 8 simultanous pid (
Udcast Document and many mails), we mean that we can't receive more pid,
or we can receive them but we'll have a queue?
Please detailed your answers.
Thank you.
I hope that the answers and the dialogue will be more and more
interesting ;).

Best regards.

Aniba.
